Reigning champion Flamengo rounds out the Brazilian slate, facing Cusco in Peru also on Wednesday, at 9:30 PM, with Leandro Bollis on commentary and Robson Morelli as analyst.
“From a technical standpoint, Brazilian clubs have shown great strength, even dealing with the challenges of travel and tough opponents — they’ve consistently shone in group stages. And on the coverage side, what sets Paramount+ apart is having teams on the ground at the stadiums, giving fans a deeper look at what goes on behind the scenes, team tactics, and the atmosphere of each match.” — Paulo Vinícius Coelho (PVC), Paramount+ analyst
