Part 2/6:
Historically, Peñarol has faced challenges in matches against Flamengo, especially given that Flamengo is currently regarded as one of the wealthiest clubs in South America. The last time coach Diego Aguirre led Peñarol to the Libertadores final was in 2011, where they lost to Santos, led by Neymar. Fast forward to today, and Aguirre finds himself in a situation where his team looks to advance beyond the quarterfinals.
The fans are not just hopeful for a victory but also optimistic about the team's potential to secure a good result. The consensus is that even a draw or a narrow loss could be seen as favorable, especially taking previous encounters against teams perceived as weaker.
