Racing boss makes bold prediction after first-leg defeat | OneFootball

The Racing coach, Gustavo Costas, showed confidence in the team even after losing in the first leg of the Libertadores semifinals this Wednesday (22).

In a press conference after the 1-0 defeat at Maracanã, he stated that the Argentine club will go to Lima, the city that will host the tournament's final this year.

The statement was given at the end of a response in which Costas praised his team's dedication and emphasized that Flamengo has "much more power."

"We have to be more united than ever because we are more alive than ever and we know that at home we will play the dream of being able to go to Lima. Not being able. We are going to Lima," he said.

To fulfill the promise, Costas needs his team to beat Flamengo next Wednesday (29), in Avellaneda, in the second leg of the semifinal.

If the victory is by a one-goal difference, the finalist will be decided by penalties.
