Danilo details the ‘madness’ at Flamengo’s fourth Libertadores party | OneFootball

Flamengo beat Palmeiras 1-0 in the 2025 Libertadores final with a goal from Danilo

Winning the Libertadores can be a once-in-a-lifetime achievement for some teams. Fortunately, Flamengo has experienced Eternal Glory four times. The latest one, however, had a special taste for Danilo, who scored the title-winning goal and had never seen anything like the celebration party.

– We got to the airport in the morning and then waited two or three hours before heading out into the streets to celebrate with the fans. Some Flamengo players who had already won the Libertadores told me: “You’ll see how crazy it gets if we win” -, said Danilo, who added:

– But I didn’t take it that seriously. When I got there, my friend, I thought: “Wow!”. I recorded a video trying to show all the people in the streets, but it was impossible. There were just too many people -, said the center back.

How did Danilo feel in the middle of all that madness?

– Everyone was crying and going crazy together with the players. And many of them could barely even see us, because we were on top of a truck. It was a moment of great pride. I’m very proud of that -, the player said.

How did Flamengo win the Libertadores?

The Libertadores final brought together Flamengo and Palmeiras at the Monumental in Lima, Peru. What was supposed to be a great showdown, however, turned into attack versus defense. That’s because the São Paulo side only wanted to hoof the ball long, while Mengo wanted to go on the offensive.

Then, in a one-off chance, Arrascaeta took a corner that found Danilo. The hero of the fourth title then scored the goal that is now immortalized in Rubro-Negro history. The Most Beloved is the only Brazilian club to have won Eternal Glory four times.

Where is Danilo right now?

The Rubro-Negro center back is with the Brazil national team for the World Cup, which is being held in the United States, Mexico, and Canada. The Seleção’s opening match is against Morocco on June 13.
