Flamengo aims to become second unbeaten Libertadores winner by more than 10 games

Next Saturday (29th), Flamengo and Athletico Paranaense will meet at 5 p.m. (EST) in Guayaquil, Ecuador, for the Copa Libertadores big decider.

Mengão won the America Cup in 1981 and 2019 and is now seeking its third title in its history.

Star+ will broadcast the deciding match on streaming platforms.

Flamengo is looking to become the second unbeaten Brazilian Libertadores winner since the competition has been played with more matches.

In 2012, Corinthians finished the tournament without a single defeat, defeating opponents such as Vasco, Santos, and Boca Juniors.

In this edition of the Libertadores, they have won 11 of the 12 matches played so far.

The only defeat Flamengo suffered was against Talleres in the group stage (2-2).

As in 2021, Rubro-Negro won all their matches in the round of 16, quarterfinals, and semifinals, leaving Deportes Tolima, Corinthians, and Vélez Sarsfield behind.
