The return leg of the Libertadores semifinal between Flamengo and Racing (ARG) began even before the ball started rolling. This is because, on Monday (27th), the fans of the Argentine team responded to the request of coach Gustavo Costas and celebrated with the players.
The warm reception by the Racing fans took place on the night of Monday (27th) at ‘El Cilindro.’ Those present sang motivational songs to encourage the entire team. Additionally, fireworks and vertical banners in blue and white were displayed around the stadium.
The Racing fans' celebration was sparked by Gustavo Costas ‘firing up’ the supporters with audio messages requesting their support on Monday (27th). As a result, Racing players were able to receive and feel that last bit of support from the fans before focusing on the ‘decision’ they will face against Flamengo on Wednesday (29th).
The series of matches between Flamengo and Racing began last Wednesday (22nd) when the Rubro-Negro defeated their rival 1-0 at Maracanã. Thus, Mengo has the advantage of a draw, which guarantees a spot in the Libertadores final. The winner of this clash will face Palmeiras or LDU (EQU) in the grand final.
The final match between Flamengo and Racing takes place at 9:30 PM (Brasília time) this Wednesday (29th) in Argentina. Coluna do Fla, as usual, will provide detailed coverage of the match with Leo José and Simon Lédo reporting live. Finally, Rede Globo (open channel) and Paramount (streaming) will broadcast the duel.
