This Thursday (26), Flamengo and Peñarol (URU) will face each other in the second leg of the quarterfinals Copa Libertadores final. The match, which will be held at the Campeón del Siglo Stadium, in Montevideo, will decide who will advance to the semi-finals and will face Botafogo, who secured their qualification by beating São Paulo the night before. The duel could mark the first classic between Mais Querido and the black and white team at this stage of the continental tournament.

ALEXANDER BARBOZA'S ENTHUSIASM< /p>

While awaiting the outcome of the match between Fla and Peñarol, Botafogo defender Alexander Barboza expressed excitement about the possibility of facing CRF in the semifinals. After Botafogo's classification in a dramatic game decided on penalties, Barboza commented on the next opponent, highlighting the pleasure of participating in great classics.

"I really enjoy playing in classics, but my whole family is from Uruguay, so I'm equally divided between the two teams", said the defender, without naming a favorite for this Thursday's clash. If Flamengo wins the place, this will be the first Rio classic played in a Libertadores semi-final, representing a milestone in the history of the competition for both teams.



< b>CHALLENGE FOR MENGÃO

Despite the expectation of a possible historic semi-final, Mengão must first guarantee their classification against Peñarol. To advance directly, the Rio team needs to beat their Uruguayan opponent by at least two goals. In case of a tie on the aggregate score, the decision will be on penalties. The match promises to be challenging for Rubro-Negro, who will play away from home and face pressure from the Uruguayan fans.

The Red-Black fans are confident in another good performance from their team, which they seek to overcome Peñarol and get closer to another Libertadores final. If it advances, the Flamengo will face Botafogo in an unprecedented clash that would go down in the history of Brazilian football.

HOW THE TEAMS ARRIVE

Peñarol arrives excited after the victory at Maracanã and rocked by a 5-0 defeat against Cerro, last Sunday, in the Uruguayan Championship. Furthermore, the Carboneros have an unbeaten run of 12 games at the Campeón del Siglo Stadium, which increases the confidence of the team led by Diego Aguirre. The Uruguayan team must repeat the basis that beat Mengão, focusing on defensive balance and quick counterattacks.

On the side of Flamengo, the atmosphere is under pressure. The Rio team is coming off two consecutive defeats, including the defeat in the first game against Peñarol and the defeat to Grêmio (2-3) last weekend, in the Brazilian Championship.

The loss of unbeaten record 28 games at Maracanã in Libertadores weighs heavily, and coach Tite needs to look for quick solutions to reverse the score and guarantee the place. The expectation is around the physical recovery of important players, such as Arrascaeta, and the possible entry of Gabigol in the second half.
