Flamengo lift Libertadores trophy: memes and jibes aimed at Palmeiras | OneFootball

Flamengo is the only Brazilian four-time champion of the Copa Libertadores

Everyone tries, but only Flamengo is a four-time champion! In an exciting final, Mengão claimed their fourth Copa Libertadores at the Estadio Monumental U in Lima, Peru. On social media, the fans didn't spare the runner-up Palmeiras and filled the internet with memes and taunts directed at the opponent.

The most mentioned names by the Flamengo supporters were Andreas Pereira, Abel Ferreira, and Leila Pereira. The midfielder, who made a grave mistake in the 2021 final while playing for Flamengo, became a target of the fans with the phrase “nobody dies owing us.”

As for Abel Ferreira, Flamengo fans mocked the coach's ‘eternal whining,’ as he often complains about refereeing when he loses a game. So, Portuguese, what will you say after this runner-up finish in the Copa Libertadores?

WHAT WILL YOU DO, LEILA PEREIRA?

Before the game, Palmeiras' president, Leila Pereira, had warned that she would “lose her cool” if she won the Copa Libertadores. However, the phrase was, of course, remembered by the fans after the game, who had fun and created several memes about the opponent's leader.

IS THERE MORE RUNNER-UP FINISHES COMING?

As the runner-up of the Libertadores, Palmeiras is close to finishing second again, this time in the Brasileirão. After all, Flamengo leads with 75 points, against 70 for the São Paulo team, with two rounds remaining in the competition.

Flamengo can seal the title next Wednesday (03), against Ceará, at Maracanã. The match starts at 9:30 PM (Brasília time). Meanwhile, Palmeiras, besides being far from Mengão, needs to keep an eye on the fight for second place, as Cruzeiro is close behind with 68 points.
