In addition to securing a spot in the next phase of the Intercontinental, the victory over Cruz Azul (MEX) on Wednesday (10) allowed Flamengo to reach an impressive milestone this year. The Rubro-Negro became the team with the highest number of wins in 2025.
The top spot in the ranking, however, was only possible because PSG (FRA) drew with Athletic Bilbao (ESP) in the Champions League on Wednesday. Thus, Flamengo and Paris Saint-Germain are tied with 48 wins this year.
Flamengo can take the lead in the ranking if they win against Pyramids (EGY) this Saturday (13) in the Intercontinental. However, PSG plays on the same day, but in the French Championship.
In other words, if both win their respective games on Saturday, Flamengo and PSG will reach the Intercontinental final, each with 49 wins. In this scenario, only one will leave Qatar with 50 victories.
The Champions League champion has a guaranteed spot in the world final. So, PSG is just waiting for the result of Flamengo and Pyramids to travel to Doha, Qatar, and compete in the Intercontinental final.
In the fight for a spot in the Intercontinental final, the Rubro-Negro faces Pyramids on Saturday (13), again in Qatar, for the Challenger Cup. The match kicks off at 2 PM (Brasília time), with full coverage from Coluna do Fla.
