Flamengo vs Racing Showdown Has Balanced Numbers

The semifinals of the Libertadores between Flamengo and Racing (ARG) mark the third meeting between the teams in the continent's most important competition. However, the teams have already crossed paths in six different tournaments, aside from friendlies. Interestingly, nine locations have hosted the clash, with 'uncommon' settings like Spain, Morocco, and Chile.

The teams have faced each other 17 times, with six victories for Flamengo, six draws, and five losses for the red-black team. When focusing on the Libertadores, Mengão is undefeated, but the memories are terrible. In the four matches, Mengo won one and drew three times.

However, in two of them, in the round of 16 of the Libertadores 2020, Flamengo was eliminated on penalties. After a 1-1 draw in Avellaneda, the teams repeated the score at Maracanã, with a goal by Willian Arão in the last moment. However, the midfielder himself missed the penalty kick, which led to the downfall of the Red-Black.
