Danilo's unique world feat after Libertadores win with Flamengo | OneFootball

Danilo scored the goal that gave Flamengo the Libertadores title

Flamengo overcame Palmeiras 1-0 this Saturday (29th), and won their fourth Libertadores championship. The scorer of the title-winning goal for the red-and-black, Danilo achieved a unique feat in world football.

This is because, with the title this Saturday (29th), Danilo became the first player in history to win both the Libertadores and the Champions League twice. It’s worth noting that the defender won both of his European titles during his time at Real Madrid (ESP), in 2015 and 2016.

And the other Libertadores title?

In addition, Danilo won his first Libertadores title in 2011, wearing the Santos jersey. On that occasion, the São Paulo team beat Peñarol (URU) 2-1, with goals from Neymar and the red-and-black defender himself.

What are Danilo’s stats at Flamengo?

Danilo joined Flamengo in January 2025 and, despite the short time, has already made his mark in the club’s history. So far, the defender has played 34 matches, scored four goals, and provided two assists.

It’s worth noting that the title-winning goal in the Libertadores was not the first important goal scored by Danilo. After all, the defender was responsible for Flamengo’s comeback in the match against Chelsea (ENG), during the group stage of the Club World Cup. On that occasion, Mengão beat the English team 3-1.

When is Flamengo’s next match?

With Danilo available, Flamengo returns to the field this Wednesday (03) to face Ceará. The match will take place at 9:30 p.m. (Brasília time), at Maracanã, for the 37th round of the Brasileirão. If they win, Mengão will be crowned champions of the league.

As tradition dictates, Coluna do Fla will bring all the details about the match through YouTube, the website, and social media. However, Globo (free-to-air channel), GE TV (YouTube), and SporTV (cable channel) will broadcast the Flamengo vs. Ceará match.
