In a party that gathered thousands of people on the streets of Rio de Janeiro, the players celebrated with Flamengo’s traditional chants, lifted the Libertadores trophy, and had close contact with the fans. Besides the celebration, the provocation towards Alviverde, the tournament’s runner-up, began with the players singing the song “Palmeiras has no World Cup”.

The coffin, handed over by the crowd of Flamengo fans, was also displayed to the supporters, with Wallace Yan lifting it during the party. The red-black striker further provoked Palmeiras, expanding the World Cup song with the words: “gets beaten in the youth and in the professional”.

Wallace Yan was part of the Flamengo U-20 squad Brazilian champions in 2023. In the final, the Red-Black team beat Palmeiras on penalties after a goalless draw in regular time.

Law of the ex

After Wallace Yan, the Uruguayan duo Arrascaeta and Viña also teased Palmeiras. The midfielder said that now the full-back “was on the right side,” alluding to Viña’s time at Verdão between 2020 and 2021. The full-back, in fact, had won the 2021 Copa Libertadores with the São Paulo team, over the Red-Black.

However, Viña held no affection for his former club, joined in the song “Palmeiras has no World Cup” and celebrated the title with Flamengo fans.

More celebrations coming?

Among Brazilians, Flamengo has become the biggest Libertadores champion, with four titles. And they can still win another trophy this season. If they beat Ceará this Wednesday at 9:30 pm (Brasília time), the Red-Black will lift the Brazilian Championship trophy.

On the other hand, Palmeiras is still fighting for the unlikely title. With 70 points, five behind Flamengo, Verdão needs to win the last two rounds, against Atlético-MG and Ceará, and hope the Red-Black slip against the team from Ceará and Mirassol to win the Brasileirão.
