Flamengo to Decide Semifinal Spot Away from Home, in Argentina

Flamengo qualified for the quarterfinals of the Libertadores after eliminating Internacional. Thus, in the next round, the Most Beloved will face Estudiantes (ARG) in pursuit of a spot in the tournament’s semifinals. However, some of the fans of the Argentine club do not seem confident about the clash with Filipe Luís’s team.

See the reactions:

On social media, an Estudiantes fan pointed out Mengão’s superiority: “If we play like we did last night against Flamengo, the Brazilians will score 5 goals, which means we’ll be practically eliminated in 90 minutes.” In addition, another Argentine ‘joked’ about the matchup: “This is as far as we go, Flamengo won’t be eliminated for anything“.

At the same time, another Estudiantes supporter highlighted the pressure on the Rubro-Negro: “I think Estudiantes have less to lose than Flamengo, they’re under pressure because they’re the clear favorites“. Finally, an Argentine fan predicts the team won’t last 90 minutes: “We qualified for the quarterfinals, but if we play like this against Flamengo, we won’t be eliminated in 180 minutes, we’ll be eliminated in 90“.
