Ex-Fluminense star tips Flamengo’s fate in Racing Libertadores tie | OneFootball

Mano Menezes asserted that the Libertadores final will be contested between Palmeiras and Racing (ARG)

It seems that winning 1-0 is worse than losing 3-0…! Flamengo meets Racing (ARG) again this Wednesday (29), for the return leg of the Libertadores semifinal. Former Fluminense coach and current Grêmio manager, Mano Menezes asserted that Mengão will be eliminated by the Argentine team.

– I think the final will be Palmeiras and Racing. I've played many times at El Cilindro and rarely in my life have I played in a place where the fans have such a big influence as Racing's fans do at their home -, said Mano Menezes, during his participation in the program ‘Esporte Record‘.

What is the situation of the Libertadores semifinals?

Flamengo won the first leg against Racing 1-0, last Wednesday (22), with a goal by Carrascal. Thus, the Rubro-Negro can even draw in Argentina and still secure a spot in the Libertadores final.

Meanwhile, Palmeiras and LDU (EQU) face off in the other Libertadores semifinal. In the first match of the tie, the Ecuadorians won 3-0 in Quito. Therefore, to advance to the final, Abel Ferreira's team will have to stage a historic comeback on Thursday (30) at Allianz Parque.

When do Flamengo and Racing face each other?

Flamengo returns to the field this Wednesday (29) to face Racing. The decisive match takes place at 9:30 PM (Brasília time), at the Presidente Perón Stadium in Avellaneda, for the return leg of the Libertadores semifinal.

As tradition dictates, Coluna do Fla will provide the best internet coverage through YouTube, the website, and social media. However, Globo (open channel) and GE TV (YouTube) will broadcast the Flamengo vs. Racing game.
