📋 Flamengo line-up set for Recopa first leg v Lanús | OneFootball

Flamengo takes the field this Thursday (19th) at 9:30 PM (Brasília time), when they face Lanús at La Fortaleza in Argentina, for the first leg of the Recopa Sudamericana.

The return match will be next Thursday (26th) at Maracanã.

Currently, the Recopa brings together the reigning champions of the Libertadores and the Sudamericana.

After all, since it has been held since 1989, with a hiatus between 1999 and 2002, the Recopa had different "formats" in its early years, such as, for example, Libertadores champions vs. Supercopa champions or Libertadores champions vs. Conmebol champions.

The Rubro-Negro is looking to repeat the feat of 2020, when they won the Recopa over Independiente del Valle.

In 2023, however, the Ecuadorian club "got their revenge" and lifted the trophy at Maracanã, after a penalty shootout.

In the last match (2-1 over Botafogo, in the Cariocão), coach Filipe Luís used a mixed team.

Thus, compared to the last Brasileirão match (2-1 over Vitória), Varela, Luiz Araújo, and Carrascal took the places of Emerson Royal, Evertton Araújo, and Pedro, respectively, for Flamengo.
