Cruzeiro holds the record for most points in a Brasileirão season, but the highest in the current format belongs to Flamengo

Flamengo's defeat to Fortaleza last Saturday (25th) in the 30th round of the Brasileirão made it impossible for the team coached by Filipe Luís to reach the 2019 milestone. In that season, Jorge Jesus’s squad set the points record.

In 2019, Flamengo reached 90 points to win the Brasileirão. Currently, Filipe Luís’s men can reach a maximum of 88 points if they win all of the last nine remaining matches in the tournament.

Against whom did Filipe Luís drop points?

In this edition of the Brasileirão, Flamengo lost few matches, but drew many. Matches against Vasco, Cruzeiro, Botafogo, and Grêmio contributed little for Filipe Luís to pull ahead in the competition.

Which team has scored the most points in the league format?

Cruzeiro scored 100 points in 2003, but with 46 matches played, as there were 24 clubs in the first division. Under the current regulations, with 20 teams, Flamengo holds the points record.

Can Rubro-Negro still be champions?

Despite the defeat, Flamengo is still fighting for the Brazilian Championship title. The team is one point behind leaders Palmeiras, who have 62, and four ahead of Cruzeiro. Moreover, there are nine matches left for the top two teams.

What is Flamengo’s next match?

The next match for Flamengo in the Brasileirão will be against Sport, but before that, Rubro-Negro will play the second leg of the Libertadores semifinal. O Mais Querido and Racing (ARG) will decide the spot at El Cilindro, in Argentina, this Wednesday (29th).
