Double champions: Flamengo beat Ceará to top Brasileirão winners list | OneFootball

Victory over Ceará prevents Palmeiras or Cruzeiro from catching up to Flamengo in points in the Brasileirão

CHAMPIONS! The victory over Ceará this Wednesday (03) made Flamengo the biggest Brazilian champion since 1971. Before that, however, Rubro-Negro and Palmeiras were tied with eight Brasileirão titles each.

This is because the title of Campeonato Brasileiro officially began in 1971. However, some people disagree and believe that Palmeiras are 12-time champions, when in reality the “Taça Brasil” and “Taça de Prata” were not necessarily Brazilian championships.

Who are the Brazilian champions without the “fax” count?

Ranking:

Therefore, it is clear that Flamengo now has nine trophies, since it did not need the unification of titles by the Brazilian Football Confederation (CBF) to become the biggest Brazilian champion. Thus, Rubro-Negro is the team in the country with the most titles in both the Libertadores and the Brasileirão.

How did this year's title come about?

Thus, four days after winning the Libertadores, Flamengo defeated Ceará in the 37th round. This is because Rubro-Negro reached 78 points and can no longer be caught by Palmeiras or Cruzeiro.

What is Flamengo's next match?

Given the Brazilian title, therefore, the tendency is for Flamengo's starting lineup to be rested in the final round against Mirassol. This is because Filipe Luís' men will play the Derby of the Americas on Wednesday (10) against Cruz Azul (MEX).
