Flamengo parade in Rio, celebrate fourth Libertadores title 🎉 | OneFootball

A crowd took over the streets of downtown Rio de Janeiro this Sunday to celebrate Flamengo's fourth title in the Libertadores. The Rubro-Negro were crowned champions of the tournament on Saturday, after defeating Palmeiras 1-0 in Lima, Peru.

The delegation landed at Rio de Janeiro International Airport in the morning and headed to the city center by bus. Then, the team boarded a trio elétrico to parade among the fans.

Players, coaching staff, including Filipe Luís, and members of the board displayed the Libertadores trophy to the Flamengo fans. Some athletes even grabbed a microphone to sing with the crowd. The forward Pedro was the most active.

In the midst of the celebration, there was provocation for Palmeiras. The athletes received a green coffin with the symbol of the São Paulo club and sang that the rival "doesn't have a World Cup".

The party ended around 3:30 PM (Brasília time). The police had to expedite the end of the route, as the Rio de Janeiro City Hall set 3 PM as the deadline. It is estimated that 500,000 people attended the celebration.

More celebrations to come?

Among Brazilians, Flamengo has become the biggest Libertadores champion, with four titles. And they can still win another title this season. If they beat Ceará this Wednesday at 9:30 PM (Brasília time), the Rubro-Negro will lift the trophy of the Brazilian Championship.

On the other hand, Palmeiras is still fighting for the unlikely title. With 70 points, five behind Flamengo, the Verdão needs to win the last two rounds, against Atlético-MG and Ceará, and hope for the Rubro-Negro to slip against the Ceará team and Mirassol to win the Brasileirão.
