Flamengo advanced to the quarterfinals of the Libertadores by defeating Internacional in both matches, with an aggregate score of 3-0. The team dominated the contest and confirmed their spot with authority. After the qualification, Arrascaeta, one of the main idols of the squad, celebrated the moment on social media.
The midfielder posted a photo hugging Bruno Henrique, taken during the clash at Beira-Rio, and left a meaningful message: "To enjoy the moment is to savor an instant, which will be frozen in time and always alive in memory." Although he did not directly mention the qualification, the image and the text reflect Arrascaeta's emotion in experiencing another special moment with Flamengo.
Arrascaeta missed the first leg due to suspension, but returned as a starter in the return match. In this decisive clash, the midfielder directly contributed to the victory by scoring one of the goals, reinforcing his importance to the team and helping Flamengo to advance confidently in the competition.
The quarterfinals of the Libertadores begin between September 16 and 18, with the first match between the teams. Then, the second round is scheduled to take place between the 23rd and 25th of the same month.
At this stage, Mengão faces Estudiantes de La Plata (ARG) who had a better campaign in the group stage of the continental tournament. Thus, the Argentine team has the advantage of playing the return match at home.
