Flamengo face Internacional again, aiming to repeat title success | OneFootball

Flamengo and Internacional will have faced each other three times in seven days

Flamengo and Internacional wrap up a sequence of three consecutive matches this Wednesday (20th), when they face off in the second leg of the round of 16 of the Libertadores. Thus, the teams will have played each other three times in seven days. However, this is not the first time the Rubro-Negro has experienced a trilogy, as they have already gone through a similar situation and ended up as champions.

Excluding matches from the Campeonato Carioca, Flamengo has already faced the same opponent three times in a row on two previous occasions. One was in the Brasileirão and the other in the Copa do Brasil plus the Campeonato Brasileiro.

What was Flamengo’s first trilogy?

In 1982, Flamengo faced Grêmio three consecutive times on April 18, 21, and 24. All matches were part of the Brasileirão final, since the first two games ended in a draw, and the solution was a third match, in which the title-winning goal for Flamengo was scored by idol Nunes.

Bahian Triplet?

In 1990, it was Bahia’s turn to cross Flamengo’s path three times in a row, but in two different competitions. On July 25, they drew 1-1 in the quarterfinals of the Copa do Brasil. Then, the Rubro-Negro won 1-0 in the return leg and, right after, the Bahian side won by the minimum score in the Brasileirão.

What time is Flamengo’s game?

The final chapter of the series with Internacional takes place this Wednesday (20th), starting at 9:30 pm (Brasília time), at Beira-Rio, for the round of 16 of the Libertadores. The match will be broadcast by Globo and ESPN, while Coluna do Fla will cover every moment in real time, with complete coverage for the fans.
