Trying to forward the vacancy for the round of 16 of the Copa Libertadores, Flamengo receives Racing (Argentina), from 21h (Brasília time) this Thursday (8) at the Maracanã stadium, for the 5th round of Group A of the continental competition. Rádio Nacional broadcasts the decisive game live. Living a good phase, the team led by Argentine coach Jorge Sampaoli knows that winning is very important to reach the last round of the Libertadores group stage in a calmer situation. Occupying the vice-leadership of their group with five points, the Gávea team will face precisely the leader of Group A, Racing, who has 10 points. Last adjustments for the match against Racing, by @Libertadores! 🔴⚫ #VamosFlamengo #CRF📸: Gilvan de Souza /CRF pic.twitter.com/G4GiULl0RF — Flamengo (@Flamengo) June 7, 2023 “A very difficult game for us, but we want to qualify for Libertadores. We recovered in the Brasileirão and qualified in the Copa do Brasil, so now we are going to try to qualify in the Libertadores”, declared Sampaoli in a press conference after the 4-1 defeat of Vasco, last Monday (5), for the Brazilian Championship, a result that still gives more motivation for Flamengo in the face of such a difficult challenge. However, the Argentine coach will not be able to count on a very important piece in this match. Striker Gabriel Barbosa is out because of an injury to his left leg. In addition, there is still doubt about the presence, or not, of Léo Pereira, Gerson and Everton Ribeiro in the confrontation. This will be set just moments before the start of the game. As the leader of the group, Racing arrives calmly at the start. In the first leg, played in Argentina, Avellaneda’s team almost defeated Rubro-Negro even with one player less for most of the match. For the Argentines, a draw at Maracanã is enough not only to reach the classification, but also to guarantee the first position in the group.
