The Flu and the Dean begin the quarterfinals at the Maracanã, aiming to clinch a place in the continent’s premier semi finals.
The 2023 Libertadores Cup has reached the quarterfinal stage, with the opening leg concluding at the storied Maracanã, the arena that hosts the tournament’s final. In this matchup, Fluminense confronts Olimpia. The winner of this tie will face the victor of the Inter versus Bolívar clash, with Bolívar holding the advantage after a 1-0 result in La Paz.
Fluminense moved forward by defeating Argentinos Juniors 2-0 on home soil, though the team will be without Marcelo, suspended for three matches after a red card incident involving Luciano Sánchez.
In a dramatic turn, Paraguayan side Olimpia stunned expectations by beating Flamengo 3-1 in Asunción, erasing the prospect of a FlaFlu derby. Olimpia, a club with three Libertadores titles to its name, last lifted the trophy in 2002.
