Racing boss makes special call-up before Flamengo Libertadores tie

Flamengo visits Racing (ARG) seeking to secure a spot in the Libertadores final

¡ATENCIÓN HINCHAS DE #RACING! ⚠️ 👉 Gustavo Costas invita a todos a la despedida al plantel antes de la concentración en Pilar. ⏰️ Lunes a las 19 horas 📍 Cilindro de Avellaneda
– domenica 26 ottobre 2025

Hello, Racing family. I want to invite you tomorrow at 7pm (local time) to bid farewell to the squad before we head to concentrate in Pilar (training center). I want to invite everyone to come and support these players who give their all for our colors. We know that together we can achieve this dream we've been chasing for so many years and that, if we are united, we will succeed. Let’s give it our all, Academia, for…,” said Gustavo Costas.

How was the first leg?

Flamengo and Racing kicked off the Libertadores semifinal last Wednesday (22), in a match held at Maracanã. The game, in fact, was very scrappy at Maracanã, but Filipe Luís’ team was better.

However, Flamengo’s goal only came at the end. In the 87th minute, Carrascal played in Bruno Henrique, who missed the goal. However, on the rebound, the Colombian himself sent it into the back of the net.

What is Flamengo’s situation?

Because of the narrow win in the first leg, Flamengo can even draw in Argentina and still secure a place in the Libertadores final. On the other hand, if Racing wins by one goal, the spot will be decided by penalties.

Who could Flamengo face in the final?

While Flamengo and Racing face off on one side of the bracket, Palmeiras and LDU (EQU) are battling in the other semifinal. In the first leg, the Ecuadorians ‘steamrolled’ Abel Ferreira’s team, winning 3-0. Now, the teams will meet again on Thursday (30), at Allianz Parque.

When will Flamengo and Racing meet again?

The decisive match between Flamengo and Racing takes place this Wednesday (22), in the second leg of the Libertadores semifinal. The ball rolls at 9:30pm (Brasília time), at Estádio Presidente Perón, in Avellaneda.

As tradition dictates, Coluna do Fla will bring the best coverage on the internet, through YouTube, the website, and social media. However, Globo (broadcast TV) and GE TV (YouTube) will broadcast the Flamengo vs Racing match.
