Journalists Bruno Formiga, Tynah Espinoza and Vitor Sérgio Rodrigues chose the 11 best to form a team. Thus, Flamengo had only 5 representatives, while Fluminense had 6.
DUBIOUS SCALINGTherefore, journalists chose goalkeeper Fábio as better than Rossi. Right-back Varela was chosen, as were Léo Pereira and Fabrício Bruno for the defense. However, for left back Marcelo was the most voted, but the player will not be available to Fernando Diniz due to having muscular problems.
For midfield, André was chosen instead of Erick Pulgar, De La Cruz and Arrascaeta make up the midfield. The attack was formed with John Árias, replacing Everton Cebolinha, John Kennedy, replacing Luiz Araújo and finally Cano, replacing Pedro, vice-top scorer in the Carioca Championship. The coach chosen was Tite.
FLAMENGO'S SITUATION IN CARIOCAMost Querido reached 21 points in the Carioca Championship table.

On Thursday night (19), Flamengo hosted Peñarol at Maracanã for the first leg of the quarter-finals of the Copa Libertadores da América and came out with an unfavorable result. In front of more than 64 thousand fans, the team led by Tite had several opportunities, but failed to score.
The Uruguayan team took advantage of one of the few chances and, with a goal from Cabrera, secured a 1-0 victory. Now, Mengão will need to reverse the deficit in the second leg, scheduled for next Thursday- fair (26), in Montevideo.
This Thursday's defeat puts the Rio team in a delicate situation. To guarantee qualification to the semi-finals, Mais Querido will need to win by two goals at the Campeón del Siglo Stadium. A simple victory will take the decision to penalties, while any other score guarantees Peñarol's place. The result was even more painful for the club, as Flamengo has not lost at Maracanã in Libertadores competitions since 2019, also to Peñarol.
The return game is full of expectations, mainly due to the historic rivalry between the two teams in the South American competition. The winner of this duel will face, in the semifinals, the winner of the clash between Botafogo and São Paulo. On the other side of the bracket, there are River Plate (Argentina), Colo-Colo (Chile), Fluminense and Atlético-MG, which makes the path to the final even more competitive.
FLAMENGO AND PEÑAROL RETURN TO THE NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIPS
Before the decisive match for the Libertadores, both teams have commitments for their national leagues. CRF travels to Porto Alegre to face Grêmio, next Sunday (22), at 6:30 pm, for the Brazilian Championship. Peñarol faces Cerro, also on Sunday, at 7pm, away from home, in the Clausura of the Uruguayan Championship.

Flamengo entered the field on Thursday night. With a packed Maracanã, Tite's men played the first match of the Libertadores quarter-finals against Peñarol (URU). The objective was to play a good game and take an advantage for the return game, next week. In this sense, the Rio team ended up disappointing the more than 60 thousand paying guests at the stadium and lost 1-0, in one of the team's worst matches of the year.
Summary
Peñarol It started well and Peñarol soon showed that it would play on the red and black error. Therefore, the Uruguayans opened the scoring after 12 minutes, with Cabrera, in a counterattack. Soon after, Flamengo responded with Plata's header hitting the post. But the red and black team had difficulty creating chances. In the final stretch of the first half, Flamengo grew and had great opportunities to draw. Bruno Henrique, alone, headed over goalkeeper Aguerre, who also made a great save from Arrascaeta's shot.
In the second half, Flamengo came back even better, but came up against the strong Uruguayan marking and the lack of creativity to reach the opponent's goal. Tite moved the sides, which gave Flamengo more speed, however, it had little effect due to a terrible night from Arrascaeta and De la Cruz. As a result, the result did not change and now Flamengo needs to reverse the situation away from home next week.
What now?
With the result, Flamengo will need to win by at least two goals to guarantee one of the places in the Libertadores semi-finals. The match takes place in Uruguay, next Thursday. However, Fla needs to turn the key, because there is a Brazilian Championship game to play on the weekend. Tite's men will face Grêmio, away from home, next Sunday, at 6:30 pm;

O Flamengohas not lifted a Carioca Championship title since 2021. In total, there were two seasons of seeing Fluminense prevail in the finals and keep the trophy . Now, Mais Querido has 38 titles in the competition. However, the Rubro-Negro board has a lot to do with this.
Right after Flamengo in front of Palestino, Tite held a press conference and spoke about priorities for the season. The coach is waiting, for example, for contact with the Red and Black board to understand whether to prioritize the Brasileirão or the Libertadores. However, he drew attention when he mentioned the behind-the-scenes information about the latest matches.
TITE REVEALS THAT THE BOARD HAS PRIORIZED CARIOCAAfter scoring a wide score of 3 to 0 in the first game of the Carioca final, it was expected that Tite would spare half of the squad in the second leg with the Libertadores in mind. However, the coach, even after the players had an exhausting sequence, selected all the starters in the second game.
This is because Marcos Braz, Rodolfo Landim and Bruno Spindel wanted to win the State and asked Tite prioritize the tournament. Thus, the coach did not give the athletes a rest following a request from the board of Mais Querido.
“It's sitting down to see what the management also wants. You have to be in tune. We established, when the management stated: our priority is to win the Carioca Championship. Bruno Spíndel, Marcos (Braz) put it, the president put it, the vice put it. We talk about this in the locker room”, reveals Tite.
FOCUS ON THE DEBUT OF THE BRAZILIAN CHAMPIONSHIPNow, with the entire squad available, Tite will focus on the activities for Rubro-Negro’s debut in the Brasileirão. Flamengo debuts in the competition next Sunday (14), at 4pm, against Atlético GO, at the Serra Dourada Stadium.
