Jorginho tips Flamengo v Palmeiras final, calls it a special match | OneFootball

Flamengo and Palmeiras compete for the Brasileirão and Libertadores titles in 2025

Just like in recent years, Flamengo and Palmeiras are battling for the main titles in Brazilian football. In addition to being at the top of the Brasileirão standings, the teams faced each other in the final of the Libertadores. A standout player for Mengão, Jorginho acknowledged that the rivalry between the clubs keeps growing.

— It’s a special match because of everything that happens around it, in other competitions, and in the past years as well. So, I believe it will be an incredible game, with a different atmosphere — he said, before concluding:

— You can feel that this football rivalry is getting stronger and stronger, and it’s something that, in my opinion, is beautiful to see, because it’s healthy, competitive, really cool, and ends up becoming something even more special. It will be a historic moment — concluded Jorginho, in an interview with ‘TNT Sports’.

When will the Libertadores final take place?

The big final of the Libertadores is scheduled for Lima, Peru. However, Conmebol has not yet set the time for the match. In 2019, the same Estadio Monumental in Lima hosted the game, and on that occasion, the match started at 5:00 p.m. (Brasília time). Therefore, it is likely that the organizers will repeat this strategy.

Are Flamengo and Palmeiras competing for another title?

In addition to the Libertadores, Flamengo and Palmeiras are competing for another title this season: the Brazilian Championship. At the moment, the São Paulo team is in first place on the table, with 65 points, while the Most Beloved comes right after, with 64.

What is Flamengo’s next match?

Trying to regain the lead in the Brasileirão, Flamengo returns to the field this Wednesday (05) to face São Paulo. The match takes place at 9:30 p.m. (Brasília time), at Vila Belmiro, for the 32nd round of the national championship.

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) and Premiere (pay-per-view) will broadcast the Flamengo vs. São Paulo match.
