Flamengo debuts in Libertadores 2024, this Tuesday (2), against Millonarios (COL). Despite the excitement for the good phase the team is going through and for the dream of the four, Rubro-Negro will have a weight loss. Gabigol, one of the greatest idols in the club's history and the team's main player in the competition, is out of the question for coach Tite.

Last Monday (25), the Court of Sports Justice Anti-doping suspended the attacker for two years for attempting to cheat an anti-doping test. The punishment came into effect on April 8, 2023, the date of the surprise exam that Gabi allegedly tried to cheat. The punishment, therefore, is valid until April 2025.


Gabigol's defense will try to have the sentence acquitted at the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) and will seek a suspensive effect. However, as Libertadores 2024 will start this Tuesday for Flamengo, there is no time to reverse the scenario and guarantee the idol's presence in the match.


Before Gabigol's arrival, Flamengo suffered in Liberators in the 21st century. Until then, Fla had managed, at most, to advance to the quarter-final stage. Furthermore, Rubro-Negro was coming off a recent negative streak in continental competitions.

In the 2017 Libertadores, Rubro-Negro lost to San Lorenzo 2-1 away from home with a goal in stoppage time of the second half. The match in question was valid for the last round of the group stage. With the result, Fla fell early in the competition, without even advancing to the round of 16. The following year, Flamengo played in the South American Championship. The team had a good campaign and reached the final, but ended up losing on aggregate against Independiente and finished second.


In 2019, the scenario changed. Rubro-Negro took the lead in that edition of the Libertadores and beat River Plate with two goals from Gabi in the final minutes of the match. There, the attacker entered Fla's history. Two years later, the team returned to the Libertadores final. Against Palmeiras, Gabi scored again, but did not avoid the 2-1 defeat. Thus, Flamengo finished second in that edition.

Despite this, the following year, Flamengo returned to the final and did not let the title slip away. Gabigol scored, Fla beat Athletico 1-0 and became three-time champions of the most important club competition on the continent. He is, therefore, the only athlete from this victorious generation to score for Flamengo in the Libertadores finals. Furthermore, he is the highest Brazilian goalscorer in the history of the competition (31).
