All set for the final! Flamengo finished preparations for the second leg of the Campeonato Carioca final this Friday morning (1) at Ninho do Urubu. The classic will be played tomorrow (2), at 18 pm, at Maracanã. The Rubro-Negro needs to win by at least two goals to take the match to penalties. If they win by three or more goals, the Mais Querido will win their first Carioca championship.

Coach Paulo Sousa led a tactical session with the red-and-black squad. Defender Rodrigo Caio continues his recovery and completed training on the field under the guidance of the fitness coach.
