Flamengo returns to the field this Wednesday (22) to face Racing (ARG) in the first leg of the Libertadores semifinal. Looking to gain an advantage in the matchup, the Most Beloved hopes to assert their superiority over Argentine teams in the tournament’s history.
After all, in the history of the Libertadores, Flamengo has played 27 matches against Argentine teams, with 14 wins, nine draws, and only four losses. That is, a 62.9% success rate. This clearly shows the superiority of the Rubro-Negro over opponents from the neighboring country.
The most memorable matchup against an Argentine team in Flamengo’s history is the final of the 2019 Libertadores. After all, the Most Beloved won the continental tournament over River Plate (ARG), 2-1, after a historic comeback with two goals from Gabigol.
It’s worth noting that Racing will not be the first Argentine team Flamengo has faced in the 2025 Libertadores. That’s because, in the quarterfinals, Mengão eliminated Estudiantes (ARG) on penalties. In addition, in the group stage, the Rubro-Negro had a draw and a loss against Central Córdoba (ARG).
The first leg between Flamengo and Racing takes place this Wednesday (22), for the semifinal of the Libertadores. The match kicks off at 9:30 p.m. (Brasília time), at Maracanã.
As tradition dictates, Coluna do Fla will bring the best coverage on the internet, through YouTube, the website, and social media. However, Globo (broadcast TV) and GE TV (YouTube) will broadcast the Flamengo vs. Racing match.
