Palmeiras’ organised supporters group Mancha Alviverde have released a protest video alleging a system that harms the club, reviving flashpoints from the 2025 Libertadores final against Flamengo.

According to Coluna Do Fla, the video surfaced as Flamengo trimmed the Brasileirão lead to six points after beating Vitória, while Palmeiras were held by Internacional in round 22.

In the production, the narrator accuses authorities of applying the laws unevenly and describes certain calls as criminal. Footage shows Erick Pulgar catching Bruno Fuchs on the shin, with fans claiming the Flamengo midfielder should have been sent off in the 2025 final.

The edit then highlights Jorginho’s push on Gustavo Gómez in the 2025 league’s second round, which the group argue should have resulted in a penalty. The episode also recalls 2023 remarks by João Martins, Abel Ferreira’s assistant, who alleged a system prevented Palmeiras from winning the Brasileiro.

The piece does not reference Raphael Veiga’s stamp on Jorge Carrascal in the same Libertadores final. Nor does it cite the unawarded São Paulo penalty for Allan’s challenge on Tapia in the second round of the 2025 league.

The report characterises the stance as pre-emptive complaining, arguing teams in Brazil are helped one day and harmed the next. It cites Barboza’s kick to Internacional’s Carbonero in the last round, which did not bring a red card, as further context.
