Racing boosted by World Cup winner for Flamengo clash | OneFootball

Flamengo and Racing face off in Libertadores semifinal at Maracanã

While Flamengo plays at home this Wednesday (22), with the support of their fans in attendance, Racing (ARG) is counting on the good vibes from Rodrigo De Paul. The midfielder, world champion with Argentina, sent a message to the club that launched his career.

— I will give my all tomorrow against Flamengo. The boys are used to playing this kind of match. They will know how to play, the important thing is that they do it with heart — said De Paul.

Was De Paul from Racing?

The Inter Miami (USA) midfielder made his professional debut for Racing in 2013. However, the club soon sold him to Valencia (ESP), where he caught the attention of Atlético de Madrid (ESP).

Then, Messi’s loyal sidekick made it to the Argentina National Team, where he took part in the 2022 World Cup campaign. De Paul, however, seems not to have forgotten where he came from and who he supports.

Racing has De Paul and Flamengo has…?

While De Paul prepares for Major League Soccer (MLS), the Flamengo fans are packing Maracanã. The Red-Black Nation has sold out all tickets for the match against Racing.

What time is Flamengo vs Racing?

Hoping to frustrate De Paul, Flamengo continues its preparations to face Racing (ARG) this Wednesday (22). The match kicks off at 9:30 PM (Brasília time), at Maracanã, for the first leg of the Libertadores semifinal.

As tradition dictates, Coluna do Fla will provide the best coverage on the internet, through YouTube, the website, and social media. Globo (broadcast TV) and GE TV (YouTube) will broadcast the clash between Flamengo and Racing.
