Léo Pereira: I owe Flamengo fans, we need your support | OneFootball

Flamengo Fans Promise to 'Pack' Maracanã for the Game Against Lanús (ARG)

The start of the 2026 season for Flamengo was not quite what the red-black fans expected. Besides being runners-up in the Supercopa do Brasil, Filipe Luís's team couldn't maintain the level they showed in 2025. On the eve of the Recopa Sudamericana final against Lanús (ARG), defender Léo Pereira admitted a sense of ‘debt’ with the Nation.

— Playing at Maracanã, 60,000 people, always gives you butterflies. We count on this support from the fans to turn the result around. We really need to show what Flamengo is -, he said, before concluding:

— The expectation is very high, and we made it high. Of course, opponents study us, try to neutralize us. It’s easier to disarm than to attack -, concluded Léo Pereira, in an interview with ‘ESPN’.

Will Flamengo Fans Attend Maracanã in Full Force?

Yes! As usual, Flamengo fans promise to ‘pack’ Maracanã to watch the decisive game against Lanús. At this moment, more than 55,000 tickets have been sold for the second leg of the Recopa Sudamericana.

What is Flamengo's Situation in the Recopa?

Lanús won the first leg of the Recopa Sudamericana 1-0 last Thursday (19). Therefore, in the match held at Maracanã, Flamengo will need to win to be crowned champions. However, if they win by one goal difference, the continental title will be decided by penalties.

When Will Flamengo and Lanús Face Each Other?

In search of a comeback in the decision, Flamengo will face Lanús again this Thursday (26). Moreover, the match kicks off at 9:30 PM (Brasília time) at Maracanã, for the second leg of the Recopa Sudamericana.

Thus, as tradition dictates, Coluna do Fla will bring all the details about the game between Flamengo and Lanús, through YouTube, the website, and social media. However, ESPN (cable channel) and Disney+ (streaming) will broadcast the Recopa match.
