According to Coluna Do Fla, tickets for Flamengo v Cruzeiro in the Libertadores last-16 second leg at the Maracanã on Wednesday 19 are sold out, with a crowd of more than 70,000 expected.

The sides drew 1-1 at the same venue last Wednesday 12, with Arroyo scoring for Cruzeiro before Lucas Paquetá levelled for Flamengo.

Before midweek, Flamengo visit Mirassol on Sunday 16 at 18:30 Brasília time at the Maião in round 23 of the Brasileirão.

The return on Wednesday 19 kicks off at 21:30 Brasília time. With the first leg level, any Flamengo win secures a quarter-final place, while another draw would send the tie to penalties.

The attendance could challenge the 2026 national high of 71,205, set when Flamengo hosted Palmeiras at the Maracanã, a 3-0 win for the São Paulo club.
