Atlético Mineiro get ready to welcome Flamengo for something different than the ordinary league football: The Copa do Brasil Round of 16 leg 1 of 2.
It’s busy days for these teams as both were in action only a few days ago. There’s no rest for the wicked, or in this case; no rest for Atlético Mineiro and Flamengo.
