With the decision to host the final of the Libertadores in Buenos Aires in 2024, River Plate’s stadium, the Monumental de Núñez, emerges as the favorite due to its capacity of approximately 85,000 people. Fluminense has visited the stadium twice, with one win and one loss, both against River Plate.
In the 2011 Libertadores, the Tricolor defeated River Plate at their home stadium with a 3-1 victory. The goals were scored by Caio Paulista, Nenê, and Yago.
However, last year, when Fluminense had hopes of becoming champions, the result was adverse. The Tricolor lost 2-0. Both matches against River were in the group stage.
