Live: Flamengo v Barcelona, line-ups and more, U20 World Cup final | OneFootball

Flamengo's U-20 World Cup match takes place this Saturday (23), at 4:30 PM (Brasília time)

IT'S DECISION DAY! This Saturday (23), Flamengo is seeking its second U-20 World Cup title. The red-black team, champions in 2024, faces Barcelona (ESP) in 2025, at 4:30 PM (Brasília time) at Maracanã. With this in mind, the Coluna do Fla brings all the game information, such as probable lineups, where to watch, refereeing, and much more.

Flamengo secured a spot in the final by defeating Palmeiras in the Libertadores decision. In March, the two teams drew 1-1, and Mengão won the penalty shootout 3-2, winning the continental title for the second time.

AND WHAT ABOUT BARCELONA?

On the other hand, Barcelona secured qualification by defeating Trabzonspor (TUR) 4-1 in the Youth League final. This is the most important tournament in the youth categories in Europe. It should be noted that the Spanish club is trying to win its first U-20 World Cup title.

WHERE TO WATCH THE MATCH BETWEEN FLAMENGO AND BARCELONA?

The match between Flamengo and Barcelona will be broadcasted by Globo (open TV) and SporTV (cable channel). As usual, Coluna do Fla TV shows all the details of the clash with unmissable coverage, bringing details from the pre-match to the press conference of coach Bruno Pivetti.

WHO ARE FLAMENGO'S HIGHLIGHTS FOR THE DECISION?

During the preparation for the clash with Barcelona, Flamengo had a concern with Matheus Gonçalves, who felt pain in his thigh last Thursday (21). However, despite the scare, the attacking midfielder recovered in time. Therefore, he should start among the starters.

In addition to the recovery of Matheus Gonçalves, Flamengo also has high expectations for Lorran. The coaching staff sees the two as key pieces for the decision. Both have recently stood out in the youth categories and, as they have already played for the main team, they carry even more responsibility for the clash.

IS BARCELONA COACHED BY A 'WELL-KNOWN'?

Under the command of Brazilian Beletti, Barcelona dominated the European category calendar by winning the three main titles of the season: the Spanish Championship, the King's Cup, and the Youth League. Now, the former full-back, who became a world champion with the National Team in 2002, tries to lift the only trophy he still lacks: the U-20 World Cup.
