The date will be written in the history of Aucas and the Gonzalo Pozo Ripaldo Stadium marking their absolute debut in the Copa Libertadores. The match opens Group A, which is led by defending champion Flamengo, and is joined by Argentina’s Racing and Chile’s Ñublense, another newcomer to the tournament.

Flamengo’s line is the first opponent that the golden and red will face in the Libertadores. Mengao arrives in the south of the capital as the defending champion of the Cup, runner-up of the World Club Championship and first in the rankings of the International Federation of Football History and Statistics.

The idol of the people bears the responsibility of facing the tournament as champions of Ecuador in 2022. “We will compete,” said technical director César Farías, who has been preparing the team for the tournament since December.

Flamengo arrives with a luxurious roster led by Gabriel Barbosa, gabigol, but in a “different” moment than the one that brought him to the headlines, “with some flaws” and without “transmitting confidence”, according to the Brazilian media. (D)
