Double blow for Flamengo? Abel Ferreira may finish trophyless at Palmeiras

Palmeiras lost the Libertadores title to Flamengo after a 1-0 defeat

Flamengo won the Libertadores title last Saturday (29th), after a 1-0 victory over Palmeiras. Now, this Wednesday (03), the team from São Paulo could lose another championship to Mengão: the Brasileirão. Therefore, Abel Ferreira could end the year without any titles for the first time since taking charge of the Verdão squad.

Which titles has Palmeiras won under Abel Ferreira?

2021 – two Libertadores* and Copa do Brasil;
2022 – Recopa Sudamericana, Paulista, and Brasileirão;
2023 – Supercopa do Brasil, Paulista, and Brasileirão;
2024 – Paulista.

*Due to the pandemic, the final of the 2020 Libertadores was also played in 2021.

At the start of the season, Palmeiras finished as runners-up in the Paulista, after a 1-0 defeat to Corinthians. In the Copa do Brasil, Abel Ferreira said goodbye to the competition in the round of 16, also being eliminated by the club from Itaquera. Finally, in the Libertadores, Flamengo defeated their interstate rival last Saturday (29th), with a goal from Danilo.

And what about the Brasileirão?

Flamengo is currently leading the Brasileirão, with 75 points. Right behind, Palmeiras is in second place, with 70 points. Thus, Filipe Luís’ team could secure the national title this Wednesday (03).

For that to happen, Flamengo needs to beat Ceará at Maracanã. On the other hand, in case of a draw or defeat, the Rubro-Negro will have to hope for a ‘slip-up’ from Palmeiras. The São Paulo team faces Atlético-MG, also this Wednesday (03), at Arena MRV.

What is Flamengo’s next match?

Trying to secure the Brasileirão title, Flamengo takes the field this Wednesday (03) to face Ceará. The match kicks off at 9:30 pm (Brasília time), at Maracanã, for the 37th round of the national championship.

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