Flamengo fans did not spare the squad on arrival in Rio de Janeiro after being knocked out at the Libertadores. The players arrived in Galeão at around 3 am and at that time, around 20 supporters were waiting for the Red and Black delegation to protest.
Upon arrival at the Cargo Terminal, a more isolated area of the airport, fans spotted the bus, threw popcorn at the vehicle and cursed at the players. “It’s not easy, you have to be willing to play for Mengo,” shouted one fan.
The protest was peaceful until the red and black group bus left. Subsequently, fans set off firecrackers at the entrance to the Cargo Terminal and military police reacted with rubber bullets and stun bombs, dispersing the confusion.
