Filipe Luís and Danilo reach major milestones after Liberta triumph | OneFootball

Several incredible achievements by Brazilians marked the final of the Libertadores-2025. Filipe Luís became the coach who most quickly won the Libertadores after having won it as a player, while Danilo made history by becoming the first athlete to win two Champions Leagues and two Libertadores.

Then a left-back, Filipe Luís won his first Libertadores in 2019 and celebrated on the field again in 2022. Just three years and 31 days later, he achieved Eternal Glory once more, this time as a coach. And always with Flamengo.

He broke a record that lasted 52 years, previously held by Humberto Maschio, who needed five years and 281 days between titles with Racing (1967) and Independiente (1963).

He is also only the sixth to win the Libertadores as both an athlete and a coach for the same club. Roberto Ferreiro (Independiente), Juan Martín Mujica (Nacional), José Osmar Pastoriza (Independiente), Marcelo Gallardo (River Plate), and Renato Gaúcho (Grêmio) achieved this feat before.

A two-time European champion with Real Madrid, he had already won the Libertadores with Santos (2011) and now adds the title with Flamengo, consolidating a unique achievement in world football.

There is also the "detail" that Danilo was only the third player to score for Flamengo in Libertadores finals after Zico (1981) and Gabigol (2019, 2021, and 2022). 

And he had already made his mark in the second leg of the 2011 final with Santos.
