The Rubro-Negro earned the right to compete in the tournament after winning this year’s Conmebol Libertadores.
Also the Brazilian champion, Flamengo rested the starters in the last round of the championship (3 x 3 with Mirassol) to preserve the players for the debut in the Intercontinental Cup.
Regarding the national title game (1 x 0 over Ceará), coach Filipe Luís only opted for the inclusion of Léo Ortiz in place of Danilo – the scorer of the winning goal in the Libertadores.
The novelty was Pedro’s presence on the bench, after recovering from a broken arm and a muscle injury in the left thigh.
