Léo Pereira started for Flamengo in a goalless draw away to Estudiantes in the first leg of the 2026 Copa Libertadores semi-final. He praised the team's defensive solidity while admitting the attacking display was disappointing. The second leg is set for the Maracanã, where Flamengo will look to secure a place in the final.
After his World Cup appearances with Brazil, Léo Pereira drew interest from European clubs such as Monaco and Besiktas of Turkey. Reports said Besiktas made an offer of around €6 million, but Flamengo's management was reluctant to sell a key defender.
