Flamengo takes to the field this Thursday (13) needing a victory over LDU , at Maracanã, to keep alive the chances of advancing to the round of 16 of the Conmebol Libertadores 2025. The team occupies the third position in Group C , with five points, behind LDU, with eight, and Central Córdoba, which leads with 11. The coach of the Ecuadorian team, Pablo Sánchez, highlighted the opponent's responsibility as a factor that can influence the players' behavior.
They may get a little nervous..."
During a press conference held on the eve of the match, Sánchez praised the red-black squad and highlighted the challenge of facing them. “We are talking about a team with a lot of quality , a lot of talent and experience. But we understand that, if at any point the result is not favorable, they may become a bit nervous,” he said. According to him, the weight of the obligation to achieve the result may be a point of imbalance.
LDU only needs a draw to secure a spot in the next phase of the competition. The team will end its participation in the group stage against Central Córdoba, on the 28th, in Quito. For Sánchez, facing the Mais Querido requires total attention and tactical intelligence . He pointed out Flamengo 's large and competitive squad as a differentiator, but believes that, with organization, it is possible to exploit the spaces left by a team that will have to launch itself into the attack.
In the previous match between the two teams, valid for the third round, Flamengo had more possession of the ball and created several opportunities, but was unable to break the scoreless tie. The performance, although superior in numbers, was not reflected in the score. Now, at home, the team from Rio will have to transform technical superiority into practical results, since another slip-up could mean early elimination.
A win in this round is vital for Mengão , who do not want to depend on combinations of results in the final round. The expectation is a full house at Maracanã and an atmosphere of decision on and off the field. For Pablo Sánchez, the key for LDU is in correctly reading the moments of the game and taking advantage of the spaces created by the Brazilians' need to attack.
With an expected attendance of more than 65,000 fans, Mengão hosts Internacional for the first leg of the Copa Libertadores round of 16 and seeks to repeat historic feats

On Wednesday night (13), at 9:30 pm (Brasília time), Flamengo hosts Internacional at Maracanã for the first leg of the round of 16 of the Copa Libertadores. In the group stage, Mais Querido qualified in second place in a group that included LDU, Deportivo Táchira and Central Córdoba.
The importance of the match prompted predictions from tarot reader Luiz Filho, from the YouTube channel Renascer das Cartas. According to his deck, Filipe Luís's team should show intensity and create opportunities against Roger Machado's team, but they will also face moments of fluctuation throughout the match.
"Flamengo came up with the Wheel of Fortune card, which is a good way to move around the game and create opportunities. However, it also has its ups and downs in the match . Flamengo needs to maintain balance, as Internacional is on the other side," explained Luiz Filho.
The psychic believes that Colorado, represented by the High Priestess card, will adopt a cautious stance, observing the opponent and choosing specific moments to attack. " It will be an observant Internacional; he knows that the pressure from the first game is Flamengo's. At times, Inter will come out to play, but they will also fluctuate. We have a chance of a draw, but Flamengo 's cards are better," he added.
The last time the teams faced each other was in the 2025 Brazilian Championship, also at Maracanã, when the duel ended in a 1-1 draw. Now, the atmosphere is decisive, with the objective of gaining an advantage for the return match at Beira-Rio.
