Filipe Luís weighs attacking options for Flamengo in Libertadores final | OneFootball

What will Flamengo’s lineup be for the Libertadores final?

The main match of the year is approaching: this Saturday (29), Flamengo and Palmeiras face off in the final of the Libertadores, in Lima, Peru. Both teams are in the final stages of preparation, and coach Filipe Luís has a doubt in the attack.

The backbone of Flamengo’s lineup is set, however, three players are competing for two spots up front: Luiz Araújo, Carrascal, and Everton Cebolinha.

Among the three, the Colombian Carrascal has the edge due to his versatility. After all, he shows greater ease playing both on the left and right, as well as forming good partnerships with Arrascaeta in more central areas.

Then, between Luiz Araújo and Everton Cebolinha, Filipe Luís has to decide between form and consistency. That’s because the number 7 has been more active this season, ranking as the fourth top scorer and second in assists.

On the other hand, Everton Cebolinha is currently experiencing his best individual moment of the season. The number 11 has played an important role in the last five matches, and part of the fans believe he should be a starter.

Will Samuel Lino be a starter for Filipe Luís’ Flamengo?

The most expensive signing in the history of Flamengo, Samuel Lino arrived as one of the big names for the squad. However, towards the end of the season, the player is not in good form and has been on the bench in recent matches. Therefore, it is unlikely that Lino will be among the starting eleven in the final.

When will the final between Flamengo and Palmeiras take place?

The final of the Libertadores 2025, between Flamengo and Palmeiras, will take place this Saturday (29) at 6pm (Brasília time) / 4pm (Lima time). The match will be held at the Monumental U stadium, in Peru.

Currently, both Flamengo and Palmeiras have three Libertadores titles and are part of the group of Brazilian teams with the most wins in the competition, alongside Santos, São Paulo, and Grêmio. Thus, whoever wins the clash will become the Brazilian team with the most Libertadores trophies.
