Flamengo takes to the field this Wednesday (28), at 9:30 pm, at Maracanã, for a decisive duel against Deportivo Táchira, from Venezuela, in the last round of the group stage of the Libertadores. With full strength selected by Filipe Luís, Rubro-Negro is betting big on Pedro to guarantee qualification for the round of 16.
Second in Group C with 8 points, Flamengo needs to win and hope for a defeat by Central Córdoba to finish first. If they slip up, they risk elimination. The game is clear: win or lose — and for that, Pedro's presence becomes even more crucial. With 5 goals in the last 6 games, the number 9 is experiencing a period of technical and physical recovery, and is a key player in Flamengo's offensive planning for the final at Maracanã.
More than just a center forward, Pedro has been a support, finisher and also a playmaker in some phases of the game. Against Táchira, the expectation is that he will once again be the scorer that Flamengo needs so much. Alongside Arrascaeta and Gerson, the red-and-black attacking trio will be maintained. Filipe Luís kept the backbone of the team and bet on the team's main names in the team to work together and trust each other.
The lineup should have Rossi in goal; Varela, Fabrício Bruno, Léo Pereira and Ayrton Lucas in defense; Allan, Gerson and Arrascaeta in midfield; and Luiz Araújo, Bruno Henrique and Pedro in attack. The formation should be the traditional 4-3-3, but with freedom for movement between Gerson and Arrascaeta. The stance adopted by Filipe throughout the preparation reinforces the idea that Flamengo will not hold back.
Despite the marathon of games, the group considers this duel to be an early final. The club does not want to repeat the mistakes of previous editions, when they dropped points along the way and faced tougher opponents in the round of 16. Internally, Pedro is seen as a player who thrives on decision-making. The coaching staff values his performance in big games and trust is high . In addition, the good understanding between him and Arrascaeta has returned more frequently in recent games, which increases the hope of goals in combined plays.
Flamengo's youngster makes a great play and contributes to the Merengues' goal, but the Colchoneros manage to turn the game around with a big score in La Liga.

The European transfer window has been closed since early August, but Flamengo almost saw another former player play in the Premier League . Manchester United made an official offer for goalkeeper Kauã Santos , but it was unsuccessful.
According to the German newspaper Bild Sport, the English club was turned down by Eintracht Frankfurt , who set a price of 25 million euros (approximately R$156.3 million) to release the player . As the request was considered high, the English club abandoned the deal and opted to sign Belgian Senne Lammens, formerly of Royal Antwerp.
The goalkeeper position has been one of Manchester United's biggest challenges. After David de Gea's decline in performance, the Red Devils invested heavily in the position, with the most notable signing being André Onana , but they never managed to secure the expected return from the Cameroonian.
Kauã Santos left Flamengo in August 2023, when he was sold to Frankfurt for €1.6 million (approximately R$8.4 million at the time) in a deal that involved 70% of his economic rights. Flamengo still holds 30% and could profit from a future transfer.
While following the movements in the European market from afar, Flamengo remains focused on its commitments for the season. The team returns to the field this Sunday (28), against Corinthians, at 8:30 pm (Brasília time) , at Neo Química Arena, for the Brazilian Championship.
