Flamengo and Palmeiras can face each other in the round of 16 of the Libertadores
Flamengo stamped a vacancy in the round of 16 of the Libertadores and now waits to find out who will be the next opponent. Finishing the group stage in second place, Rubro-Negro faces one of the teams that finished the first stage in first place. For Joaquín Piquerez, side of Palmeiras, Mengão is one of the candidates for the continental title.
— In my opinion, without discrediting anyone, the rivalry with Flamengo today is very strong. We decided on a championship with them at the beginning of the year. They have a squad to fight for titles. But all Brazilian teams are strong: Atletico-MG, Internacional, Fluminense it’s very strong… Not to mention River Plate, which is a giant. This year’s Libertadores will be hotly contested and there are no favorites -, say Piquerez.
In the statement, the winger recalled the final of the Brazilian Super Cup this year played against Flamengo. On the occasion, the champions of the Brasileirão and the 2022 Copa do Brasil measured forces at the Mané Garrincha stadium, in Brasília. In a very disputed match, Palmeiras won, by 4 to 3.
From now on, Flamengo awaits the Conmebol draw, which will be held next Wednesday (05), in Paraguay, to find out the opponent for the round of 16 of the Libertadores. The possible opponents of Rubro-Negro are: Athletico-PR, Boca Juniors (ARG), FluminenseRacing (ARG), Independiente del Valle (EQU), Internacional, Olímpia and Palmeiras (PAR).
Until the date of the draw, Flamengo turns its eyes to the Brazilian Championship. Mais Querido’s next game will be this Saturday (01), against Fortaleza, in the 13th round of the national tournament. The duel will be held from 18:30 (Brasília time), with broadcast from Coluna do Fla, on YouTube. Premiere, via pay-per-view, shows the confrontation.
