Flamengo takes the field this Wednesday (13) to face Internacional in the round of 16 of the Copa Libertadores. Therefore, to get ahead in the continental knockout, the Most Beloved tries to maintain the defensive record of the season in front of the fans.
This is because, Flamengo has only conceded 12 goals at home this season, in 23 games played so far. Therefore, the team led by Filipe Luís has an average of only one goal conceded every two games in front of their own fans in 2025.
