The Flu and the Dean kick off the quarter-final series at the Maracaná, aiming for a spot in the continent’s top semi-finals.
The 2023 Libertadores Cup has reached the quarterfinal stage, and the first leg ends at the iconic Maracaná, the venue where the final is typically played. In this matchup, Fluminense faces Olimpia, with the winner set to meet the victor of the Inter versus Bolívar tie, where Colorado leads 1-0 after the La Paz win.
Fluminense advanced through the previous round by beating Argentinos Juniors 2-0 at home, overcoming a period of setback marked by the suspension of Marcelo for three matches after a heavy foul on Luciano Sánchez. Olimpia, the Paraguayan club, earned a heroic win by toppling Flamengo, defeating the defending champions 3-1 in Asunción and ending the anticipated FlaFlu clash before it began. Historically, Olimpia has claimed three continental titles, with the most recent coming in 2002.
