What did John Textor say about Flamengo's Carioca title?

Flamengo's consecutive three-time championship in the Carioca seems to have bothered their rivals. During the State Championship award ceremony this Monday (09), John Textor, owner of Botafogo's SAF, mocked the Rubro-Negro's victory, recalling that the team from General Savariano is the only one to have won four consecutive titles.

— I know this night is dedicated to Flamengo for winning the Carioca Championship. I want to congratulate them on their three consecutive titles. Senator Portinho, a great Flamengo fan, knows I never miss an opportunity to congratulate Flamengo. So, sincerely, from Botafogo, winner of four consecutive Cariocas, congratulations -, said Textor.

How many Carioca titles has Flamengo won?

With the trophy from last Sunday (08), Flamengo reached their 40th Carioca title. Thus, the Rubro-Negro further solidifies their lead in the ranking, as Fluminense, in second place, has only 33 trophies.

Furthermore, Flamengo achieved the consecutive three-time championship of the Carioca with the title in the 2026 season. After all, the Rubro-Negro also lifted the State Championship trophy in 2024, against Nova Iguaçu, and in 2025, also against Fluminense.

What is Flamengo's next match?

After winning the Carioca, Flamengo returns to focus on the Brasileirão. Thus, this Wednesday (11), Leonardo Jardim's team faces Cruzeiro at 9:30 PM (Brasília time) at Maracanã, for the fifth round of the national championship.

As tradition dictates, Coluna do Fla will bring all the details about the match between Flamengo and Cruzeiro, through YouTube, the website, and social media. However, Globo (open TV), GE TV (YouTube) and Premiere (pay-per-view) will broadcast the Brasileirão match.
