Milan back Flamengo ahead of crucial Libertadores clash | OneFootball

Flamengo takes the field this Wednesday (20th), and Milan (ITA) made a point to show support for the Rubro-Negro

On the eve of the decisive match between Flamengo and Internacional for the Libertadores, Milan (ITA) decided to show support for the Rubro-Negro on social media. The message came hours before the match this Wednesday (20th), at 9:30 PM (Brasília time), which determines a spot in the quarter-finals of the continental competition.

It all started when Mengão posted: “TODAY THE COLOSSAL PLAYS! For our dream! For the qualification! For Eternal Glory! Let's go, Flamengo!”. The Portuguese page of Milan then joined in and reposted the message with a provocative touch: “If you wear red and black and play against a team called Inter, we know who to root for. Good luck, Flamengo.”

The post went viral among the fans and gained even more prominence due to an important detail: Milan's biggest rival in Italy is precisely Inter Milan (ITA). Thus, the gesture of support for the Rio team took on an international provocative tone and, of course, won the hearts of the Rubro-Negro Nation.

WILL MILAN HAVE SOMEONE SPECIAL TO CHEER FOR?

Milan's support for Flamengo before the match against Internacional gained even more significance due to one detail: Emerson Royal. Recently signed by the Rubro-Negro, the right-back played for the Italian club for one season. Now with the Most Beloved, the 26-year-old player might take the field on the very day his former team publicly declared support for his new club on social media.
