Zico backs Flamengo to win Libertadores and Brasileirão in 2025

Flamengo is in second place in the Brasileirão and in the Libertadores semifinals

Zico sees nothing other than Flamengo winning the Libertadores and the Brasileirão in 2025. For the red-and-black idol, the Most Beloved has built a squad precisely to lift the main trophies.

— Flamengo assembled the squad for this, with the players they brought in. Flamengo has a roster in their hands like few others. Of course, you have to aspire to this, to get there and fight for titles, he said, before concluding: — We’ve already seen many big teams out there who didn’t make it. But you have to know that you are the reference, that you are the team to beat. If the other guy comes at you with a knife between his teeth, you come with two, he said in an interview with LANCE!.

How is Flamengo doing in the Brasileirão?

Currently, Zico’s Most Beloved is in second place in the Campeonato Brasileiro, with 61 points. Palmeiras is in the lead, but only because of the number of victories. In terms of points, the São Paulo team also has 61.
