Flamengo taunt Botafogo after Dérbi das Américas World Cup win | OneFootball

Botafogo was eliminated by a Mexican team last year, and Flamengo did not forgive

Since last year, FIFA has changed the format of the Intercontinental Cup. Now, the champion of the Libertadores competes in the 'Derby of the Americas' in the debut match. In 2024, Botafogo was eliminated early by Pachuca (MEX). Meanwhile, Flamengo became the first Brazilian team to win the new trophy. Thus, the Most Beloved took the opportunity to tease their rival.

“The first Brazilian champion of the Derby of the Americas is the Clube de Regatas do Flamengo. The Colossal. That never stops lifting trophies! MEEEEENGOOOOO!!!,” wrote Mengão on social media. Even though it was treated as a quarter-final match of the Intercontinental, the Most Beloved posted an image with the words “champion.”

HOW WAS LAST YEAR'S DERBY OF THE AMERICAS?

Just like in 2025, a Brazilian and a Mexican team faced off in the Derby of the Americas in 2024. However, unlike Flamengo, Botafogo was crushed by Pachuca (MEX), who won 3-0. In other words, Mengão is the first Brazilian team to take the trophy.

This Wednesday (10), Flamengo faced difficulties but defeated Cruz Azul. Arrascaeta opened the scoring, but the Mexicans managed to equalize. In the second half, the number 10, the best player in the Americas in 2025, secured a victory for Rubro-Negro.

IS THERE ANOTHER TROPHY ON THE LINE?

Now, Flamengo has another trophy to chase. Next Saturday (13), the Most Beloved will face the Challenger Cup, starting at 2 PM (Brasília time). The winner will face PSG (FRA) for the world title. Coluna do Fla is in Qatar and will bring all the information about the match.
