Flamengo and Palmeiras will decide the Copa Libertadores da América 2025 on November 29. If it were up to part of the São Paulo press, there wouldn’t even need to be a match—Abel Ferreira’s team is already the champion. At least, that’s the opinion of journalist Paulo Vinicius Coelho.
“After the 4-0, Palmeiras is the favorite in any game. Except for Sunday’s match against Juventude, because they’ll be very tired. But still, 4-0 has a gigantic psychological effect for the final,” said PVC, an avowed supporter of the São Paulo team, during his participation in a UOL program.
PVC’s comments had a big impact on social media this Friday (31). In addition, some Flamengo fans recalled the speech by Racing (ARG) coach Gustavo Costas, who had guaranteed he would reach the final in Lima. However, the coach has been eliminated from the competition.
In the semifinals, Flamengo and Palmeiras both experienced drama to advance. That’s because Mengão held Racing to a 0-0 draw, playing with one man down since the tenth minute of the second half, and clung to the 1-0 advantage gained at Maracanã.
Palmeiras, on the other hand, lost 3-0 to LDU in Quito, but managed a comeback with a 4-0 win on the synthetic pitch at Allianz Parque. Thus, the Brazilian teams will be seeking their fourth Copa Libertadores da América title in Lima, Peru, with full coverage from Coluna do Fla.
While Palmeiras ‘gets on their high horse’, Flamengo continues working to reclaim the lead in the Brasileirão. This Saturday (01), the Most Beloved faces Sport at Maracanã, starting at 9 p.m. (Brasília time). If they win, Fla will take the lead provisionally, since the current leader, Palmeiras, only faces Juventude on Sunday (02).
