Flamengo did it again. In Avellaneda, before a full 'Cylinder' and a sea of sky-blue and white fans dreaming of the feat, the Brazilian giant imposed its hierarchy and with a 0-0 draw secured its place in a new Copa Libertadores final. With the temperament of teams born to win, Filipe Luís's squad confirmed that their project knows no borders. Millions, stars, and structural power once again made the difference. Flamengo survived Racing's intensity, controlled the tempo, and struck at the right moments. This was not just football: it was a demonstration of power, a reaffirmation that in South America there is a gap that only the Rio team seems able to maintain. With this classification, Mengão is set to pursue its fourth Libertadores, a record that would make it the first Brazilian club to achieve it. It does so from the authority of its present, but also with the feeling that it is playing another tournament, its own, where others' limitations only serve to highlight its greatness. Racing left with applause from its people, with the dignity of one who tried to rebel against an empire. But Flamengo, once again, was more than a team: it was a machine designed to win, which now aims to lift the continent's most important trophy again.
