Who did Flamengo play in Portugal?

Besides Benfica, the Most Beloved drew 2-2 with River Plate (ARG) and beat Lausanne (SUI) 2-0. All of the matches took place at Estádio do Algarve, which had Rubro-Negro fans in attendance on all three occasions.

Are the friendlies over?

Mengão are champions of the Algarve Tournament, but the friendlies do not stop there. That is because Fla still face Olimpia (PAR) in an unofficial match next Friday (17) in Brasília.

Why so many friendlies?

The World Cup caused a break in the club season. So, in order not to completely lose their match rhythm, Fla scheduled the four tests as a kind of mid-season training period.

Besides keeping up the rhythm, coach Leonardo Jardim can also get a better look at some academy players. Center back Johnny, for example, stood out at left back to the point of drawing attention from European scouts.

What is the author’s opinion on the friendlies in Portugal?

The first match made the players’ lack of rhythm clear. JORGINHO made mistakes against River Plate. So, I think the overall assessment is very positive. If mistakes were going to happen, they had to happen in the friendlies,” said João Vítor Reis from Coluna do Fla, who added: Another positive factor is Wallace Yan’s performance, as he had not been seen since the middle of 2025. I hope the youngster can keep showing that opportunism throughout the rest of the year. After all, he and Pedro are the only natural center forwards in the squad,” he opined.
