Danilo moved by Flamengo fans' new chant | OneFootball

Fans sing a song in tribute to Danilo’s unforgettable goal against Palmeiras

For the first time since winning the 2025 Libertadores, Flamengo took the field in the continental competition at the Maracanã. On Thursday (16), during the 4-1 thrashing of Medellín (COL), the Nação that packed the stadium sang the new song at the top of their lungs, mentioning Danilo’s goal against Palmeiras. Emotional, the center back spoke about how pleased he was to receive the tribute.

“It’s so emotional that I sing along. When they’re singing it, I sing my part too. It’s a huge source of pride,” said Danilo, visibly moved, in an interview with the Copa Libertadores da América pages right after Thursday’s (16) match.

WHAT IS THE SONG?

One complaint from part of the Flamengo fanbase is that there aren’t enough songs honoring the ‘post-2019’ generation. So the Nação created a version that mentions the two Libertadores titles won in Lima, in 2019 and 2025. To the tune of “Ô, Milla,” by singer Netinho, the lyrics go like this:

It is important to point out that the song did not debut against Independiente Medellín, but it truly took off for the first time this Thursday (16). During the second half, while Mengão was dominating the Colombians, the chant could be heard very loudly in the first match at the Maracanã after the club’s fourth Libertadores title.

WILL THE HERO OF THE FOURTH TITLE PLAY?

After playing the full 90 minutes on Thursday (16), Danilo is unlikely to start this Sunday (19), at the Maracanã, against Bahia. The match is part of the 12th round of the Brasileirão and kicks off at 7:30 p.m. (Brasília time). The game will be broadcast on pay-per-view channel Premiere, but Coluna do Fla will provide the most complete match coverage.
