Conmebol announced this Thursday (27) the dates and times for the Libertadores quarterfinals. Flamengo and Del Valle (ECU) will play on two Thursdays, September 10 and 17, at 9:30 p.m. (Brasília time). The first leg will be at the altitude of Quito, with the return leg at the Maracanã.

WHEN WILL THE FLAMENGO VS. DEL VALLE MATCHES BE?

WHO WILL BROADCAST THE MATCHES BETWEEN FLAMENGO AND DEL VALLE?

Both matches between Flamengo and Del Valle will be broadcast exclusively by ESPN and Disney Plus, on pay TV and streaming, respectively. However, Coluna do Fla will provide the best on-site coverage of the clashes, whether in Quito (at an altitude of 2,850 meters above sea level) or in Rio de Janeiro.

HOW DID THE REST OF THE LIBERTADORES BRACKET TURN OUT?

The matchup between Fluminense and Platense (ARG) will take place on two Tuesdays. The first leg, at the Maracanã, will be on September 8. The return leg, in Argentina, is scheduled for the 15th of the same month. Both matches will be at 7 p.m. (Brasília time).

On two Wednesdays (09 and 16), the matches Palmeiras vs. LDU (ECU) and Estudiantes (ARG) vs. Corinthians are scheduled. The first legs will take place at Nubank Parque and in La Plata, respectively. The return legs will be in Quito and at Neo Química Arena. Abel Ferreira’s team will play at 7 p.m. (Brasília time), while Fernando Diniz’s side will take the field at 9:30 p.m. (Brasília time).

It is worth noting that the winner of this last duel, between Estudiantes and Corinthians, will be the opponent of Flamengo or Independiente del Valle. Therefore, since they will play on Thursdays (10 and 17), the Rubro-Negro Nation will know in advance their possible rival in the semifinal.

WHAT IS THE AUTHOR'S OPINION, AFTER ALL?

— I’m surprised that Globo chose Corinthians vs. Estudiantes to air on free-to-air TV in the quarterfinals. Flamengo has much more tradition, more fans, higher ratings, and a better chance of going far in the Libertadores. However, the channel chose the São Paulo team — said Pedro Paulo Catonho.

— Thinking about the Brasileirão, it will be very demanding for Flamengo. They play in Quito on the 10th, then on the 13th they face Corinthians. At least the São Paulo side should also rest players in this match, but the travel logistics will be exhausting — the journalist concluded.
