Danilo reveals the “madness” at Flamengo’s fourth Libertadores party | OneFootball

Flamengo beat Palmeiras 1-0 in the 2025 Libertadores final with a goal by Danilo

Winning the Libertadores can be a once-in-a-lifetime achievement for some clubs. Fortunately, Flamengo has experienced Eternal Glory four times. The latest one, however, had a special flavor for Danilo, the scorer of the title-winning goal, who had never seen anything like the celebration party.

– We arrived at the airport in the morning and then waited two or three hours before going out into the streets to celebrate with the fans. Some Flamengo players who had already won the Libertadores told me: “You’ll see how crazy it is if we win” -, said Danilo, who added:

– But I didn’t take it that seriously. When I got there, my friend, I thought: “Wow!”. I recorded a video trying to show all the people in the streets, but it was impossible. There were just too many people -, said the center back.

How did Danilo feel in the middle of all that madness?

– Everyone was crying and going crazy together with the players. And many could barely even see us, because we were on top of a truck. It was a moment of great pride. I’m very proud of that -, the player pointed out

How did Flamengo win the Libertadores?

The Libertadores final brought together Flamengo and Palmeiras at the Monumental in Lima, Peru. What was supposed to be a great showdown, however, turned into attack versus defense. That’s because the São Paulo side only wanted to hoof the ball clear, while Mengo wanted to press forward.

Then, in their one clear chance, Arrascaeta took a corner that reached Danilo. And so, the hero of the fourth title scored the goal that is forever etched in red-and-black history. The Most Beloved is the only Brazilian club to win Eternal Glory four times.

Where is Danilo right now?

The red-and-black center back is with the Brazil national team for the World Cup, which is taking place in the United States, Mexico, and Canada. The Seleção’s opener is against Morocco on June 13.
