Two goals from Bruno Henrique -- who also bagged a double in last week's first leg win in Rio -- fired Flamengo into the final, the Brazilians completing a 4-0 aggregate victory. Flamengo will be chasing a repeat of their triumph in the 2019 final when the Brazilians defeated Argentina's River Plate in Lima. On the evidence of the semi-finals, Flamengo will fancy their chances of lifting the Libertadores for the third time in the club's history. Mario Pineida squandered a golden chance to pull a goal back for Barcelona on 20 minutes when he shot straight at Flamengo goalkeeper Diego Alves. Another Barcelona chance went begging on 24 minutes when Luis Leon's free-kick was saved by Alves, only for Leandro Martinez to lash the rebound over the bar.
