Flamengo and Palmeiras to Reenact the 2021 Libertadores Final

While Flamengo remains focused on the Brazilian Championship, the red-black fans can't stop thinking about the Libertadores final. After the 3-0 victory over Sport on Saturday (01), Samuel Lino commented on the decision and opened up about the atmosphere of revenge against Palmeiras.

— The Palmeiras team is a very strong team. (Abel Ferreira) is a coach who works well with his team and has his style of play well established in their squad. It will be a tough game. For me, one of the greatest finals of recent times in the Libertadores -, he said, before concluding:

— We will work during this time in the Brazilian Championship, thinking only about the Brazilian Championship, then we will think about the Libertadores. It will be a great game and revenge, those things, we'll see later -, concluded Samuel Lino.

Have Flamengo and Palmeiras Played a Libertadores Final Before?

It won't be the first time that Flamengo and Palmeiras will compete for the Libertadores title. After all, the teams faced each other in the tournament's final in 2021. At the Estadio Centenario in Uruguay, the clubs ended regular time with a 1-1 draw. On that occasion, Raphael Veiga and Gabigol scored the goals.

With the draw in regular time, Flamengo and Palmeiras decided the Libertadores title in extra time. Thus, after Andreas Pereira slipped and left the ball at Deyverson's feet, the forward scored the goal that gave the continental trophy to the São Paulo team.

What is Flamengo's Next Game?

While the Libertadores final hasn't arrived yet, Flamengo remains focused on the Brazilian Championship. This Wednesday (05), Mengão will face São Paulo at 9:30 PM (Brasília time) at Vila Belmiro, for the 32nd round of the Brasileirão.

As tradition dictates, Coluna do Fla will bring all the details about the match through YouTube, the website, and social media. However, Globo (open channel) and Premiere (pay-per-view) will broadcast the Flamengo vs São Paulo game.
