Flamengo entered the field for its most important match of the season so far. The objective was to qualify for the Libertadores semi-final and to do so, they needed to beat Peñarol by two or more goals difference, in Montevideo. In this sense, Tite's men didn't come from scratch against the Uruguayans and even playing against the opponent, they failed to qualify.
Summary
The Flamengo was superior in the first 45 minutes in Montevideo. Needing a victory to reverse the aggregate score, the team went on the attack from the first minute, with many plays on the left side of the attack. With good participation from Bruno Henrique, Alex Sandro and Gerson, Tite's team created, but did not score a goal. Flamengo's main chance in the first half. In a cross from the left, which Bruno Henrique sent to Plata, the Ecuadorian stood still, without completing the goal. Peñarol was dangerous in set pieces with Leo Fernández, but the volume was red and black.
In the second half, Flamengo remained strong, even playing away, after all, the result was in favor of the Uruguayans . The Peñarol team had no shame in playing with the regulations and the weather. Tite promoted changes and the team continued looking for the goal, but making a lot of mistakes when constructing the final plays. Time passed, nervousness increased, as did passing errors and the one who ended up profiting from it was Pèñarol, who watched time pass and achieved qualification to face Botafogo in the semi-finals of the continental tournament.
With the draw, Flamengo falls into the Libertadores and postpones the dream of Tetra da competition. However, they will need to turn the key to the two remaining competitions of the season: Copa do Brasil and Brasileirão. For the national championship, the red and black team will face Athlético-PR, next Sunday, at 8:30 pm, at Maracanã.

Flamengo faces a historic challenge when they fail to win the first game of a Libertadores knockout stage acting as home team. Throughout its participation in the tournament, the Rio club was eliminated every time it left the field in the first game, at home, without a victory.
This scenario began to emerge in 1993, when Flamengo faced São Paulo. On that occasion, the red-black team hosted Tricolor at Maracanã and were unable to do their homework, drawing 1-1. In the return match, played at Morumbi, Flamengo ended up defeated 2-0, bidding farewell to the tournament. at that stage.
After a long period without new eliminations in this situation, history repeated itself in 2010. The opponent at the time was the Universidad de Chile (LaU). Flamengo, then with a squad that generated great expectations, hosted the Chilean team at Maracanã and suffered a 3-2 defeat, complicating their chances of qualifying. In the second leg, in Santiago, they even won 2-1, but the result was not enough to reverse the disadvantage from the first game. Once again, the team fell by the wayside.
In 2018, it was Cruzeiro's turn to cross the path of Flamengo. In the round of 16 clash, Rubro-Negro was surprised at Maracanã, losing 2-0 to the team from Minas Gerais. Again, the mission proved arduous. In the second game, at Mineirão, Flamengo even looked for a goal and won 1-0, but the advantage built by Cruzeiro in the first duel guaranteed the Minas Gerais classification.
The last chapter of this negative retrospective occurred in 2024 edition, when Flamengo faced Peñarol. Once again, the Rio club failed to secure a positive result at Maracanã. The match ended with a 2-1 defeat. In Uruguay, history repeated itself: Flamengo fought, but were unable to reverse the score and were defeated 1-0, ending their campaign in the tournament.
These eliminations show a pattern that has become a true "ghost" for the team in Libertadores eliminatory clashes. The lack of a victory in the first leg at home ends up putting extra pressure on the squad, which needs to seek a positive result away from home. Although Flamengo has the players and structure to overcome these challenges, its history works against it, highlighting the difficulty of reversing disadvantages in high-level competitions.

The expectation of evolution under Tite's command was high. Hired to give the team a new direction, the coach arrived surrounded by hopes of improvement, especially in a squad as qualified as Flamengo's. However, the results in the Brasileirão so far are below expectations, leaving the team far from fighting for the title and increasing the pressure on the coach. If there is no progress in the Libertadores, it will be difficult to justify the continuation of work that has not reached the goals initially set. FLAMENGO HAS A DEFINED POINT OF VIEW
The Flamengo de Tite has fluctuated in the Brasileirão. Despite having a strong squad, the team has difficulty imposing itself against theoretically weaker opponents and is unable to present regularity. The low performance has been a cause for concern within the club and is also the target of criticism from the fans. The lack of solid and consistent results has placed the team in an uncomfortable position in the table and increased questions about the coach's work.
This situation in the national championship contrasts with initial expectations. When Tite was hired, the idea was that he would bring greater stability to the team, especially in defensive terms. However, this improvement was not seen, and the team continues to suffer from recurring failures in defense, in addition to creation problems in the midfield. With Rubro-Negro far from the fight for the title and even the classification zone for the Libertadores next year, the risk of not achieving the planned objectives is real, and the responsibility lies with the technical command.
