Twice runners-up: Flamengo taunt Palmeiras after Brasileirão title | OneFootball

Palmeiras lost the Libertadores and the Brasileirão to Flamengo

Flamengo clinched their ninth Brasileirão championship this Wednesday (03), after defeating Ceará 1-0. Amidst the celebrations, the Rubro-Negro took the opportunity to tease Palmeiras, who lost yet another championship to Filipe Luís’ team.

Through a post on social media, Flamengo shared a video of a pig, Palmeiras’ mascot, falling down. In addition, Mengão included a nose emoji in the caption, referencing the ‘cheirinho’ (little smell), along with the phrase: “Runner-up again.”

What is the current situation in the Brasileirão?

With the 1-0 win over Ceará, Flamengo ‘sealed’ the Brasileirão title. Leading the championship, the Rubro-Negro reached 78 points and thus cannot be caught at the top. This way, Mengão secured their ninth Brazilian championship with one round to spare.

This is because Palmeiras remains in second place in the Brasileirão, with 73 points. Abel Ferreira’s team even beat Atlético-MG this Wednesday (03), by 3-0, but can no longer catch up to Flamengo.

Did Palmeiras lose another title to Flamengo?

Yes! In addition to the Brasileirão, Palmeiras also lost the Libertadores to Flamengo. Last Saturday (29), in Lima, the Rubro-Negro won the grand final 1-0, with a goal from Danilo. Thus, Mengão claimed their fourth continental title.

What is Flamengo’s next match?

Although there is still one round left to play in the Brasileirão, the main squad of Flamengo is already starting to focus on the Intercontinental Cup. Next Wednesday (10), Mengão will face Cruz Azul (MEX) at 2:00 PM (Brasília time), in Doha, Qatar.

Meanwhile, in the Brasileirão, Flamengo will wrap up their campaign against Mirassol, this Saturday (06), at 6:30 PM (Brasília time), at Estádio José de Campos Maia, for the last round of the championship. As tradition dictates, Coluna do Fla will bring all the details of the match.
