The Flamengo faces a historic challenge this Thursday, at 7pm (Brasília time), at the Campeón del Siglo stadium, in Montevideo, for the return match of the Conmebol Libertadores quarter-finals. To keep alive the dream of winning the tournament's unprecedented fourth title, Tite's team will need to break an uncomfortable taboo: they have never reversed a disadvantage away from home in knockout tournaments, with the exception of the Campeonato Carioca.

In In the first match, Rubro-Negro lost 1-0 to Peñarol at Maracanã and now needs a victory by two goals to qualify directly for the semi-final. If they win by just one goal, the decision will go to penalties. Any other result eliminates Flamengo from the competition.


THE MOMENT OF DECISION

This situation is similar to the one the team faced in the Copa do Brasil final. last year, when they also went behind in the initial clash against São Paulo. On that occasion, the team was defeated 1-0 at Maracanã and arrived at Morumbi needing to win to take the decision to at least penalties. Despite having opened the scoring with Bruno Henrique and dreaming of a comeback, he ended up conceding the draw and finishing runner-up.

History shows that Flamengoreversing disadvantages away from home in knockout tournaments is not new. According to a survey by Guilherme Marçal and Roberto Maleson, from GE's Espião Estatístico, Flamengo has been in 12 similar situations in knockout competitions and was eliminated on 10 occasions, achieving only two runner-up finishes. Even on the rare occasions when they won the return match away from home, the score was not enough to guarantee classification.


In the current scenario, in addition to the pressure for results, Flamengo also faces a sequence of performances irregularities and questions about Tite's technical command. The defeat at Maracanã raised the alarm about the need for tactical adjustments and a more solid defensive performance. In attack, the dependence on players like Bruno Henrique and Pedro, both fluctuating in terms of recent performance, is a point of concern. The team needs to be more efficient in finishing and find ways to break through the opposing defense, which showed consistency in the first game.

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.

The Flamengo takes the field in this Thursday (26), at 2:45 pm (Brasília time), to face Boavista in the second leg of the semi-finals of the Carioca Under-20 Championship. The match will be decisive for Rubro-Negro's aspirations in the state of the category, as the club seeks to break a four-year fast without winning the title. As they finished the qualifying phase in second place, the team led by Filipe Luís enters the field with the advantage of a draw to guarantee their place in the final.

Flamengo should start the match with the following lineup: Caio Barone in goal; Daniel Sales, João Victor, Felipe Vieira and Carbone on the defensive line; Rayan Lucas, Caio Garcia, Fabiano and Guilherme in midfield; and Felipe Teresa and Rafael Couto in attack. The expectation is for a balanced game, considering the 1-1 draw in the first clash between the two teams. If Rubro-Negro qualifies, they will face the winner of the other semi-final, which is being played between Vasco and Fluminense, in another Rio classic.

FLAMENGO HAS A BIG DECISION

In the duel on the way, Flamengo started well and opened the score in the 18th minute with Guilherme Gomes. However, the Boavista team managed to react quickly and tied the game five minutes later with Rivas' goal, leaving the match open for decision at the Estádio da Gávea. With the score level and the red-black advantage due to the draw in the second round, Filipe Luís's men know that they need to maintain control of the game and take advantage of opportunities to avoid surprises.

Flamengo arrives under pressure for the confrontation, as they have not won the Carioca Under-20 Championship since 2019, when they defeated Vasco in the final. Since then, the Crias do Ninho have accumulated frustrated participation in the competition, and now they have the chance to regain their leading role on the state scene. Furthermore, the early elimination in the Brazilian Under-20 Championship, after the defeat to Fortaleza in the quarter-finals, increased the need for a good campaign at Carioca to close the season in a positive way.
