Flamengo 2025 outperforms 2019 side after 22 matches in the Brasileirão | OneFootball

Filipe Luís' Flamengo Has More Points and a Better Goal Difference Than the Historic 2019 Campaign

The Flamengo fans are excited about the performance of Filipe Luís' Flamengo. The team's latest achievement was breaking a nearly 28-year taboo without defeating Juventude at Alfredo Jaconi. In the meantime, the rubro-negros have noticed similarities between the team's results in 2025 and those of 2019.

This is because, looking at the 22 games of Flamengo in 2019 and 2025, the numbers are indeed quite similar. While the current squad has achieved 50 points, the historic squad of the 'magic year' accumulated 49.

Moreover, the number of victories is the same: 15 in 2025 and 15 in 2019. In the current season, it's worth noting, Flamengo has one more draw (5 against 4) and, consequently, one less defeat (2 against 3) than the historic squad led by Jorge Jesus.

Another point that stands out is that the Flamengo of 2025 has the same number of goals scored as the 2019 team in 22 Brasileirão games: 47. However, this year's goal difference is even better compared to the team of Gabigol and company.

Compare the numbers:

2025

22 games 50 points 15 victories 5 draws 2 defeats 47 goals scored 10 goals conceded 37 goal difference 75.6% success rate

2019

22 games 15 victories 4 draws 3 defeats 47 goals scored 20 goals conceded 27 goal difference 74.2% success rate

It's important to note that, despite all the similarities in numbers, Filipe Luís does not like the current Flamengo to be compared to the 2019 team, led by Jorge Jesus. The rubro-negro coach, in fact, was part of the squad responsible for Fla's 'magic year' still as a left-back, wearing the number 16 jersey.

It's important to highlight that Jorge Jesus only took over Flamengo from the tenth round of the Brasileirão in 2019. Thus, with the Portuguese coach leading the team, the Most Beloved achieved ten victories, two draws, and one defeat, as well as scoring 32 goals and conceding 11.

Therefore, if we compare the numbers of Flamengo in 2025 from the tenth round, we will also find many similarities. This year, the Most Beloved also has ten victories, as well as two draws and one defeat, with 30 goals scored and six conceded.

Now, Filipe Luís seeks to make his mark in Flamengo's history in another way: as a coach. So far, the coach has won four titles leading Fla: Copa do Brasil (2024), Supercopa do Brasil (2025), Taça Guanabara (2025), and Carioca (2025).

How is Flamengo doing in the Brasileirão?

Under the leadership of Filipe Luís, Flamengo is comfortably leading the Brasileirão 2025. After the 2-0 victory against Juventude at Alfredo Jaconi on Sunday (14), the Most Beloved reached 50 points and continues at the top of the table.

What is Flamengo's next match?

Now, under the command of Filipe Luís, Flamengo shifts focus to the next commitment of the season. On Thursday (18), the Most Beloved faces Estudiantes de La Plata (ARG) in the first leg of the quarterfinals of the Libertadores. The teams will clash starting at 9:30 PM (Brasília time) at Maracanã.
