Flamengo will face Corinthians in the Supercopa do Brasil final, which takes place on February 1st in Brasília. For this match, the São Paulo team has lost forward Ángel Romero.
The Paraguayan striker is leaving after his contract with Corinthians ended on the last day of 2025. Because of this, Ángel Romero took to social media and shared a video to say goodbye to the club and its fans.
It’s important to note that in the 2025 season, Ángel Romero had lost his spot in the starting lineup of Corinthians. In recent games, the player was even left as an option on Dorival Júnior’s bench.
While Ángel Romero bids farewell to Corinthians, the Flamengo squad is still on vacation. The red-and-black team will return to training later than the other Brazilian teams, since they played until December 18, 2025.
Upon returning to training, it is known that Saúl Ñíguez will be unavailable at the start of the season. This is because the Spaniard will undergo surgery on his left heel, an area where the midfielder has complained of pain in recent months. The rest of the players will return on January 12th at the CT Ninho do Urubu training center.
The match between Flamengo and Corinthians is scheduled for February 1st at the Mané Garrincha Stadium, with the kickoff time yet to be determined. As usual, Coluna do Fla TV will provide detailed coverage of the match ‘on site’ on YouTube, as well as on their website and social media.
