Bolívar arrives for the game against Flamengo leading the Group E standings, with ten points. In other words, the classification is practically on track and will not have a place in the round of 16 only if it loses the next two games and Palestino (CHI) wins the two final rounds.
Flamengo, on the other hand, arrives in a more delicate situation, as it depends on other results to qualify for the next phase. This is because, currently, Rubro-Negro occupies third place in the standings, with four points, while Palestino is in second, with six, and Millonarios (COL) is at the bottom of Group E, with two points. In short, Mais Querido needs to win the fifth and sixth rounds and hope for a stumble from the Chilean team.
FLAMENGO Flamengo faces Bolívar in the fifth round of the group stage of the continental tournament. Therefore, the ball will roll from 9:30 pm (Brasília time) this Wednesday (15), at Maracanã.

Despite his short career as a professional coach, Filipe Luís continues to attract attention from around the world for his work at Flamengo. Last week, Fenerbahçe (TUR) attempted to sign him , but both the Rio de Janeiro club and the manager rejected the offer .
José Boto on Fenerbahçe's proposal for Flamengo's Filipe Luís: "this is not a bank"
In an interview with UOL, football director José Boto revealed the behind-the-scenes story behind the Turkish move: "Last week, he had the option of leaving the club. I know this because the president of Fenerbahçe called me asking how much money Flamengo wanted to release Filipe Luís . I replied that this isn't a bank. We had no intention of selling him. The club even offered more than the contractual fine, but he didn't want to go. He didn't want to abandon this project."
With negotiations unsuccessful, Fenerbahçe looked at other options. After José Mourinho's departure on August 29, the Turkish club explored several options, including Filipe Luís , but ultimately agreed on Domenico Tedesco last week . Thus, the red-and-black fans can breathe a sigh of relief at the prospect of a new European push.
Filipe Luís is about to complete a year in charge of Flamengo . The coach took over the team on September 30, 2024, after Tite's dismissal, and has since collected titles: Copa do Brasil, Campeonato Carioca, and Supercopa do Brasil . The coach has played 65 games, with 43 wins, 16 draws, and only six losses, consolidating one of the club's most consistent campaigns in recent years.
Flamengo, under the command of Filipe Luís, begins this Thursday (18) the dispute of the quarterfinals of the Libertadores against Estudiantes (ARG) . The match takes place at 9:30 pm (Brasília time), at Maracanã, with broadcast by ESPN (closed TV) and Disney+ (streaming).
