Flamengo takes the field this Sunday (21) to face Vasco, in a match valid for the 24th round of the Brasileirão. Known as the ‘King of Classics’, Bruno Henrique could be Filipe Luís's ‘trump card’ to face the São Januário team.
This is because Vasco is the biggest victim of Bruno Henrique wearing the Flamengo jersey. So far, the number 27 has played 23 matches against the Carioca rival, scoring 11 goals. Following closely, Athletico-PR and Botafogo appear as the most ‘affected’ by the striker.
Bruno Henrique has gone through turbulent situations in recent months. After all, the player was being investigated for involvement with sports betting and was even punished by the Superior Court of Sports Justice (STJD) with a 12-game suspension, in addition to a fine of R$ 60,000.
However, disagreeing with the court's decision, Flamengo filed a suspensive effect to ‘release’ Bruno Henrique until a new trial. Thus, with the request from Mengão being accepted, the number 27 is available for the next Fla matches.
In the semifinals of the Carioca Championship 2025, Bruno Henrique scored goals in both the first and second legs against Vasco. With this, the number 27 further extended his ‘dominance’ over the Carioca rival.
With Bruno Henrique available, Flamengo faces Vasco this Sunday (21), for the 24th round of the Brazilian Championship. The ‘Clássico dos Milhões’ takes place at 5:30 PM (Brasília time), at Maracanã.
As tradition dictates, Coluna do Fla will provide the best internet coverage, through YouTube, the website, and social media. However, Globo (open channel), Premiere (pay-per-view), and GE TV (YouTube) will broadcast the Flamengo vs Vasco game.
