Fluminense surpass last season's points with eight games left | OneFootball

Fluminense has reached a symbolic milestone in the Brazilian Championship. With the 1-0 victory over Ceará at Maracanã, the Tricolor reached 47 points and has already surpassed its final tally from 2024, when it finished the competition with 46 points, in 13th place.

The team started the 2024 Brasileirão with only six points in 13 rounds and at one point had a 98% risk of relegation, under the management of Fernando Diniz. The turnaround came only in the final stretch, under the leadership of Mano Menezes, who managed to save Fluminense from relegation. The definitive relief came only in the 38th round, with a 1-0 victory over Palmeiras at Allianz Parque.

This season, however, the scenario is quite different. Under the command of Renato Gaúcho, who secured 31 of Fluminense's 47 points, and with Luis Zubeldía continuing the work, the Tricolor currently sits in sixth place, within the qualification zone for the Conmebol Libertadores.

With eight rounds still to play, Fluminense is experiencing a period of stability and confidence, aiming to secure a spot in the Libertadores and finish the year with a better performance than last season.
