The Flamengo from 2019 has received several adjectives and the newest, given by Filipe Luís, is “bloodthirsty”. Furthermore, the former Mais Querido full-back placed the star team at the time as the third best where he worked in his career.
"He should have scored more (goals in the Libertadores semi-final, against Grêmio). The only way to respect the opponent. It was a day when we didn't play as well as in 1-1, but the ball went in (laughs). , to be a top scorer, the best on the field... that team couldn't stand it. Not just in 2019, but in 20 and 21. The player profile that was there, which is Gabigol, Bruno Henrique, Arrascaeta, doesn't stop. a lot of difference", said Filipe Luís, in an interview on the podcast 'Um Assado Para', by Gaucho journalist Duda Garbi.
BEST TEAM HE PLAYED FOR
Before playing for Mais Queridoin 209, Filipe Luís made football history European. When asked where Jorge Jesus' Flamengo would be in his personal ranking, the former athlete placed it in third place.
" (The 2019 squad) was perhaps the third best squad I've ever worked with. As a group, unity and achievements, number one. But as a player quality, perhaps third. The first was Chelsea (ING), champion of the Premier League, and the second was Atlético (ESP), who were Spanish champions and arrived. in the Champions League final", added Filipe Luís.
"That Flamengo of 2019 was very good because it brought together players who were still doing well, in this case me, Rafinha, Pablo Marí, who came here new, Gerson, who managed to bring a new player from Europe, Arrascaeta, who is a player from Europe, Gabigol, who came from Europe, Bruno Henrique, who was in Europe... They all went through there, very good, with a European level, but he wasn't European, especially because the Brazilian Championship doesn't require that level. It wasn't better than Real Madrid (ESP), Manchester City (ING) and Liverpool (ING)", he concluded.
NEW FLAMENGO COACH< After winning all possible titles as a Flamengo< /a>, Filipe Luís hung up his boots and became coach of Mais Querido.

With a poor performance away from home, the Argentine team tries to stop Mengão's momentum in the first leg of the Libertadores quarterfinals

Estudiantes faces Flamengo this Thursday (18), at 9:30 pm, at Maracanã, for the first leg of the quarterfinals of the Copa Libertadores . The Argentine club arrives under pressure due to irregular results in the season and seeks to rediscover the good football of the beginning of the year to overcome one of the strongest teams in Brazil.
In 2025, the La Plata team played 36 matches, totaling 15 wins, eight draws, and 13 losses, with 42 goals scored and 40 conceded, a success rate of just over 49%. Away from home, the record is even more challenging: in 18 away matches, they have recorded just five wins, four draws, and nine losses.
On the other hand, Flamengo has maintained a solid performance at Maracanã , where they have lost only four times this season, only two of which have come against the main team. This makes the match even more difficult for the Argentine team, which will need to overcome one of the most intense atmospheres on the continent.
While performance away from La Plata is a concern, Estudiantes ' home record is positive. In 17 matches, they've won nine, drawn four, and lost four . This home strength could be an asset in the return leg, but first, the team needs to contain Flamengo 's momentum in Rio de Janeiro.
A traditional Libertadores champion, Estudiantes shares the title with River Plate as the most successful Argentine team in the competition and demonstrates experience in knockout stages. In the current edition, they lost only two matches in the group stage, against Universidad de Chile and Botafogo. In the round of 16, they eliminated Cerro Porteño after a 1-0 away win and a 0-0 draw in the return leg in La Plata.

All tickets were sold in advance, guaranteeing an estimated attendance of around 69,000. The expectation is that the Red-Black Nation will fill every section of the stadium , transforming the Maracanã into a cauldron to push the team toward victory.
The team will have important reinforcements. Striker Bruno Henrique and full-back Varela , who were absent last Sunday (14) against Juventude, in the Brazilian Championship , trained normally this Tuesday (16) and should be available to the coach again.
Despite their returns, Rubro-Negro will remain without midfielder Jorginho, full-back Alex Sandro, and defensive midfielder Pulgar , who are still recovering. The likely lineup for the game includes: Rossi; Royal (Varela), Léo Ortiz, Léo Pereira, Ayrton Lucas (Viña); Saúl, De La Cruz (Allan), Arrascaeta; Plata, Samuel Lino, and Pedro.
Fans will be able to watch the match live on ESPN (pay TV) and Disney+ (streaming). The second leg will be held next week in La Plata, Argentina, and will determine who advances to the semifinals.
