Palmeiras’ Libertadores win over Flamengo marks four years | OneFootball

On November 27, 2021, the Palmeiras fan celebrated the club's third championship in the Copa Libertadores, after a 2-1 victory over Flamengo in Montevideo. In just two days, the teams will face off again in another continental competition final, this time in Lima, Peru.

Four years of a memorable final

The 2021 final was unforgettable for both clubs, even if negatively for the red-and-black side. On that occasion, Palmeiras won 2-1 with goals from Raphael Veiga and Deyverson, after a historic mistake by Andreas Pereira, now at Verdão.

On Flamengo's side, Gabigol managed to equalize in the second half, but it wasn't enough for the Carioca team, which dismissed then-coach Renato Gaúcho after the decision. A year later, Mengão won the Libertadores title against Athletico-PR.

As mentioned above, Andreas Pereira, the villain for Flamengo after a mistake that resulted in Deyverson's goal, is currently at Palmeiras and may start in the match. Coach Filipe Luís, who played as a starter for Mengão in that final, is now the coach of the Carioca club.

For the grand final of the 2025 Copa Libertadores, Palmeiras and Flamengo will face each other at the Estadio Monumental in Lima, Peru. The match is this Saturday, starting at 6 PM (Brasília time).
