In 2019, Flamengo had an exceptional year where it reached the top in both Brazil and Latin America. After Jorge Jesσουςs's team won the Brazilian championship, they had an even bigger challenge ahead of them, winning the Copa Libertadores.

After Flamengo eliminated Emelec from Ecuador, Internacional from Brazil and Gremio from Brazil, they found River Plate in the final. River was the holder of the trophy after last year it had won it against Boca Juniors, which it eliminated in 2019 in the semifinals.

For the first time the Copa Libertadores final was single and was held in Lima, Peru, at the Estadio Monumental. River Plate took the lead early on as in the 14th minute Borré gave the Millonarios the lead. Flamengo improved and managed to make an impressive upset in the last minutes after Gabriel Barbosa initially equalized at 89 'and gave his team the victory at 92' with his second personal goal. Flamengo thus managed to become the champion of Latin America for the second time in its history, after 1981.

This jersey is the same as the one worn by Gabriel Barbosa in the final. There are match details on the chest where the finalists, the date and the location of the match are written. In addition, on the left sleeve there is a patch where the trophy wins from Flamengo are written, while on the right sleeve there is the patch of the final.
