Six crowns: Flamengo and PSG end 2025 with six trophies each | OneFootball

Flamengo Had a Historic Year Under Filipe Luís' Command

Even without winning the World Cup, Flamengo ended 2025 as one of the leading teams in world football by winning six titles in the season. With this, the Rubro-Negro matched PSG (FRA) in the number of trophies won in the year.

Throughout the season, Flamengo lifted the trophies of the Campeonato Carioca, the Supercopa do Brasil, the Libertadores, the Brasileirão, the Derby of the Americas, and the Challenger Cup.

HOW WERE FLAMENGO'S VICTORIES?

In February, Flamengo won the Supercopa do Brasil by defeating Botafogo 3-1 at Mangueirão in Belém. On that occasion, Bruno Henrique scored two goals, Luiz Araújo completed the score, and Patrick de Paula scored for the opposing team.

Next, in March, Flamengo won the Campeonato Carioca by defeating Fluminense in the final. Soon after, the club simultaneously started its campaigns in the Brasileirão, the Copa do Brasil, and the Libertadores, expanding their focus on national and continental competitions.

During the Copa do Brasil, Flamengo ended their participation in the round of 16 after losing in a penalty shootout. Even so, the management had already previously decided to prioritize the Brasileirão and the Libertadores throughout the season.

Later, at the end of November, Flamengo won the Libertadores by defeating Palmeiras in the final. A few days later, the team led by Filipe Luís secured the Brasileirão title with one round to spare, consolidating a victorious year.

Finally, in the international competition closing the season, Flamengo faced two consecutive challenges. First, they defeated Cruz Azul (MEX) 2-1 and lifted the Derby of the Americas trophy; then, they overcame Pyramids (EGY) and won the Challenger Cup.

HOW WAS THE WORLD CUP FINAL?

Flamengo fell behind on the scoreboard in the first half after a goal by Kvaratskhelia. Until then, PSG controlled the match. However, in the second half, the Rubro-Negro balanced the game and equalized with Jorginho, from a penalty kick.

With the tie in regular time, the decision went into extra time, during which Flamengo showed the accumulated fatigue from the season. Even so, the Mengão withstood the pressure, took the match to penalties, and ultimately was defeated by the opponent in the World Cup final.

AND WHAT ABOUT PSG?

PSG won the French Super Cup, the French Championship, the French Cup, and the unprecedented Champions League. Additionally, the French team won the European Super Cup and, on Wednesday (17th), the World Cup.
