Léo Moura has won almost everything he's competed in for Flamengo. He's won the Guanabara Cup, the Rio Cup, the Campeonato Carioca, the Copa do Brasil, and the Campeonato Brasileiro. But there's one competition in particular where the full-back hasn't won, and he still dreams of winning: the Copa Santander Libertadores.

Since arriving at Gávea in 2005, Léo has played in three Libertadores Cups: 2007, 2008, and 2010. In the first two, Flamengo was eliminated in the round of 2, by Defensor Sport and América of Mexico, respectively. And this year, Flamengo fell to Universidad de Chile in the quarterfinals. But the number XNUMX hasn't given up and continues to dream of the international title.

"Not having won the Libertadores is still on my mind. I still want to feel that taste. I know I'll still be able to get there and win the competition. I want to win the Libertadores with Flamengo. We'll have the patience to work hard in the Brasileirão and compete again next year," he said.

The full-back has already played 25 matches in the Libertadores: eight in the 2007 campaign, seven in 2008, and ten in 2010. Léo scored two goals: one in 2008 and one in 2010, in addition to providing three assists this year.
