Flamengo's internal battle: two vie for Libertadores final spot | OneFootball

Flamengo and Palmeiras face off starting at 6pm (Brasília time) this Saturday (29th)

Among Filipe Luís’ dilemmas for the Libertadores final this Saturday (29th) is the right wing of the attack. Luiz Araújo and Jorge Carrascal are competing for the spot to face Palmeiras, and the Brazilian comes out ahead in the statistics.

Luiz Araújo, for example, has played more matches in his career compared to Carrascal. That’s because the Brazilian has 376 matches, while the Colombian has 198. The data is from ‘Sofascore’.

What are Luiz Araújo and Carrascal’s career statistics?

L.A vs Carrascal:

Despite the statistics, Carrascal stands out in terms of versatility. According to Filipe Luís, the Colombian midfielder can also play all the attacking roles. Not by chance, the foreigner has already kept the Brazilian out of the lineup on other occasions.

Why is there such a big difference in numbers?

Carrascal is two years younger than Luiz Araújo, who is 29. In addition, both have had four injuries in their careers, but the Brazilian missed only 29 matches, while the Colombian missed 51. It’s worth noting, however, that numbers alone don’t win matches.

What other dilemmas does Filipe Luís have for the Libertadores final?

Besides the Brazil vs Colombia battle, Filipe Luís needs to decide on the left wing between Samuel Lino and Cebolinha. In defense, however, there’s a chance that Léo Ortiz could return to the starting lineup after a period out due to injury.

When is the Libertadores final between Flamengo and Palmeiras?

The Libertadores final between Flamengo and Palmeiras takes place this Saturday (29th), starting at 6pm (Brasília time), at the Monumental de Lima, in Peru. The winner will become the first Brazilian club to win the tournament four times.

Therefore, Coluna do Fla will bring all the details of the match through YouTube, the website, and social media. However, Globo (free-to-air channel), GE TV (YouTube), SporTV (cable), ESPN (cable), and Disney+ (streaming) will broadcast the Flamengo vs Palmeiras match.
