World champion backs Flamengo thrashing, mocks Racing before clash | OneFootball

Cicinho highlighted that Racing (ARG) will not have the strength to face Flamengo

The Flamengo will soon take the field to face Racing (ARG) in a decisive match for the second leg of the semifinal of the Copa Libertadores. Before the clash in Avellaneda, former right-back Cicinho confidently predicted Flamengo's qualification with a rout at the Estadio Presidente Perón.

“It will be 4 to 1 for Flamengo. Racing will come forward, and Flamengo will crush them. This should have already happened at Maracanã”, stated the former Brazilian National Team right-back Cicinho, during the program ‘Jogo Aberto’, on Band.

HOW IS THE MATCHUP?

In the first game, played in Rio de Janeiro, Flamengo had difficulties breaking through Racing's defense. However, Colombian Jorge Carrascal scored the only goal in the 42nd minute of the second half, securing the advantage for the Most Beloved.

Thus, Flamengo has an advantage over Racing in the Copa Libertadores semifinal. To advance to the final and face Palmeiras or LDU (EQU), the Most Beloved only needs a simple draw at the Estadio Presidente Perón.
