Flamengo lost 3-0 to Palmeiras in the 17th round of the Brasileirão at the Maracanã

Then Fla’s No. 7 reminded everyone that the team in green finished runner-up to Mengo in the club’s fourth Libertadores title.

Besides celebrating by asking the Maracanã to be quiet, the green-and-white winger stepped on the Rubro-Negro crest, which caused a commotion. In the middle of the chaos, however, Luiz Araújo pointed to his thigh, where he has a tattoo of the 2025 Libertadores trophy.
