O Flamengo is facing its worst moment of the season, with a series of physical problems that further complicate the mission of advancing in the Copa Conmebol Libertadores. Next Thursday, at 9:30 pm (Brasília time), the red and black team will have a crucial challenge against Bolívar, at the altitude of La Paz, in the second leg of the round of 16. Despite the advantage obtained in the first game, when they won 2-0 at Maracanã, the situation is far from comfortable.
The Flamengo team arrives in Bolivia with a squad torn apart by injuries and physical wear, the which has generated great concern among fans and the coaching staff. In the first game, the team showed a solid performance, managing to build an important advantage. However, the altitude of La Paz, an always difficult opponent for any club playing in the city's extreme conditions, adds an extra level of difficulty to the decisive match.
CLUB DECIDES ON THE CURRENT CURRENT
With the advantage of two goals, Flamengo could even lose by a goal difference and still guarantee qualification for the quarter-finals. If Bolívar manages to win by two goals, the decision will be taken to a penalty shootout, a scenario that Rubro-Negro wants to avoid at all costs. The Flamengo coach, who faces criticism for his squad management and recent fluctuations in performance, will have to make difficult choices to field a competitive team that can withstand the physical challenges of altitude. La Paz's altitude of 3,650 meters is a factor that cannot be ignored, and this can directly affect the performance of players on the field.
One of the main challenges will be the absence of key players who have been fundamental throughout the season, but are out of action due to injury. Flamengo's medical team has been working intensely to try to recover as many athletes as possible for this match, but time is short, and replacement options do not offer the same security.

Flamengo confirmed its spot in the Copa Libertadores quarterfinals by eliminating Internacional at the Beira-Rio stadium. Besides remaining firmly in the fight for its fourth continental championship, the club also increased its bonuses this season. The total is already approaching R$200 million, solidifying the international weight of the red-and-black squad.
Progress in the continental tournament reinforces a significant financial landscape. With the Club World Cup, Copa do Brasil, and Libertadores, Flamengo has already earned R$197.45 million in fees and bonuses for participation, victories, and qualification . The amount was calculated based on official competition data, converted to reais, and compared to the club's budget for the season.
Club World Cup
Libertadores
Brazil Cup
Eliminated in the round of 16 by Atlético-MG, Flamengo accumulated R$5,953,500 :
Carioca Championship
The two-time state champion, the club, received no prize money, as the tournament maintains a model that distributes only TV revenue . The title, therefore, generated sporting impact, but not financial impact. The Carioca has not offered any prize money to the competition's winner since 2020.
The club's board of directors projected bold but realistic goals in its 2025 budget: reaching the Club World Cup group stage, the Copa do Brasil semifinals, the Libertadores semifinals, and finishing runner-up in the Brasileirão . With the current campaign, the club has already met some of its expectations and maintains its ambition to end the year with even higher numbers—and, who knows, with more trophies.
