Lucas Paquetá named round’s best as Conmebol unveils Libertadores team | OneFootball

Conmebol on Monday 17 named the team of the round for the Copa Libertadores round of 16 first legs, selecting one player from each club after every game ended level.

Flamengo’s representative was Lucas Paquetá, who scored at the Mineirão, and he was also recognised as the confederation’s hero of the week.

On the Cruzeiro side, Arroyo made the ideal XI thanks to his fine strike at the Mineirão. Three other players from Brazilian teams were included, Gustavo Henrique, Eduardo and Flaco López.

With Deportes Tolima against Independiente del Valle still to play their first leg, the remaining quarter-final places will be settled this midweek. Flamengo host Cruzeiro at the Maracanã on Wednesday 19.

The winner of Flamengo v Cruzeiro will face the victor of Tolima v Del Valle. That tie begins this week after strong earthquakes in Colombia forced a delay, so the Brazilian side will only learn their next opponents on Tuesday 25.
