CBF appoints referee for Flamengo vs Atlético-MG, for the Copa do Brasil

The Brazilian Football Confederation (CBF) has appointed Raphael Claus as the main referee for the match between Flamengo and Atlético-MG , scheduled for this Thursday (31), at 9:30 pm (Brasília time), at Maracanã, for the first leg of the round of 16 of the Copa do Brasil. The decision rekindles the concerns of Flamengo fans, who recently felt harmed by refereeing decisions in the Brazilian Championship.
In the last meeting between the two clubs, Ramon Abatti Abel's performance was heavily criticized for mistakes made against "Mais Querido ." Now, the choice of another player mired in controversy is raising alarm bells among fans and behind the scenes at the Rio de Janeiro club.
RAPHAEL CLAUS'S ERRORS
Raphael Claus has a history of contested decisions in matches involving Flamengo . One of the most memorable cases occurred in 2023, when the referee awarded a penalty by Léo Pereira on Fluminense's Marquinhos. The Flamengo defender was visibly off balance during the play, raising questions even among refereeing analysts. The match ended in defeat for Flamengo, Filipe Luís's first setback as a professional coach.
In matches against other state rivals, such as Botafogo and Vasco, Claus also faced criticism. In a match against Botafogo, he ignored a clear foul on Fabrício Bruno early in the play that led to the opponent's second goal. Against Vasco, the referee failed to signal two handballs inside the box, believing the defenders were in a natural position, which angered fans on social media.
FANS FEAR NEW CONTROVERSIES
Anticipation for the match at Maracanã is high, and Claus's selection adds additional apprehension to the already tense atmosphere. With a recent history of controversial decisions, Flamengo fans are already worried about the referee's decisions for the upcoming match.
