Flamengo Delegation Celebrates Fourth Libertadores Title on Top of a Trio Elétrico


The administrator of the social network TikTok must be a Palmeiras fan. The app deleted, this Tuesday (02), the videos posted by Saúl Ñíguez in which the Flamengo player is celebrating the Libertadores victory over Palmeiras last Saturday (29).

According to the notification sent to Saúl, the player displays activities and “dangerous challenges”, which could encourage other users to risk physical harm. The Spanish midfielder used X, formerly known as Twitter, to expose the removal of the content.

What Did Saúl Do Wrong?

The celebration by Flamengo took place on top of a trio elétrico, which is not necessarily risky. However, there are moments where Saúl is on top of an unprotected bus. At another point, you can see fans on top of poles.

The social network's administration may have interpreted the high, unprotected places as risky. However, no one was injured during the celebration.

Why Was Flamengo Celebrating?

Flamengo beat Palmeiras 1-0 at the Monumental de Lima, in Peru. Thus, the Most Beloved became four-time champions of the Libertadores, something unprecedented among Brazilian teams. Therefore, there are plenty of reasons to celebrate.

When Will Flamengo Be Able to Celebrate Again?

While Saúl deals with TikTok's policies, Flamengo has its eyes on the Brasileirão title. This Wednesday (03), the Rubro-Negro faces Ceará, starting at 9:30 PM (Brasília time), at Maracanã, for the 37th round of the tournament.

Therefore, Coluna do Fla will bring all the details about the match through YouTube, the website, and social networks. However, the broadcast of the Flamengo vs Ceará game is on Globo (open channel), GE TV (YouTube) and SporTV (cable channel).
