The battle for the world champion title on Wednesday (17) between Flamengo and PSG (FRA) set an audience record. This is because TV Globo reached the highest average viewership of the year in Rio de Janeiro, with the Parisians' victory in the penalty shootout.
During the match and the penalty decision, from 2 PM to 4:49 PM (Brasília time), the broadcast recorded 39 points and 60% viewership share among Rio de Janeiro viewers. The results were also impressive in other regions.
The last time the channel recorded such high numbers was in December 2019, when Flamengo also played against Liverpool (ENG). On that occasion, the Most Beloved lost the world final 1-0.
In São Paulo, the broadcast increased the television network's average by 90% during that time slot, reaching 19 points and 40% viewership share. This was the best performance in the period in the São Paulo capital since the 2022 World Cup final.
Besides Flamengo fans being spread all over the world, even those who don't appreciate football watched the clash. This is because the Red-Black did not let themselves be intimidated by PSG. Thus, the match ended 1-1 and the penalty shootout 2-1.
To the disappointment of media companies and fans, Mengão goes on vacation this Thursday (18). To increase the longing for the club, however, the 2026 preseason has an undefined date.
