The 2025 Brasileirão season came to an end this Sunday (07), with nine matches closing out the 38th round. As is tradition at the end of the competition, the ESPN Bola de Prata Award announced, this Monday (08), the championship’s best eleven, featuring only three players from Flamengo.
Despite winning the championship with several records, only three Flamengo players made it into the team of the season. Thus, Arrascaeta, Pedro, and Léo Pereira received the Bola de Prata award. Mengo was, in fact, the second team with the most players selected, behind Cruzeiro, which had four representatives.
Walter – Mirassol Paulo Henrique – Vasco Fabrício Bruno – Cruzeiro Léo Pereira – Flamengo Reinaldo – Mirassol Lucas Romero – Cruzeiro Arrascaeta – Flamengo Matheus Pereira – Cruzeiro Kaio Jorge – Cruzeiro Pedro – Flamengo Vitor Roque – Palmeiras Coach: Rafael Guanaes – Mirassol
In addition, Flamengo took home two more trophies at the Bola de Prata awards. That’s because Arrascaeta was named the best player of the 2025 Brasileirão, while Pedro won the award for the most beautiful goal of the championship. Finally, Kaio Jorge was the top scorer, while Allan of Palmeiras was named the breakthrough player.
Considered one of the favorites for the title at the start of the year, Flamengo was crowned nine-time champion of the Brasileirão in 2025. Filipe Luís’s team finished the championship with 79 points, racking up 23 wins, ten draws, and only five losses.
Moreover, Flamengo ended the Brasileirão with the best attack and defense in the competition, setting the record for the highest goal difference in the history of the points system era. Finally, Filipe Luís’s team also finished the championship unbeaten at home.
Flamengo is now focused on winning yet another title in 2025. This Wednesday (10), the Rubro-Negro faces Cruz Azul (MEX) at 2:00 PM (Brasília time), in the first match of the Intercontinental Cup.
As tradition dictates, Coluna do Fla will bring all the details about the match through YouTube, the website, and social media. However, Globo (broadcast TV), GE TV (YouTube), and Cazé TV (YouTube) will broadcast the Flamengo vs. Cruz Azul match.
