In the debut of the Portuguese coach, Flamengo drew 0-0 with Fluminense, but came out on top in the penalty shootout. Fábio even saved one for the runner-up, but Agustín Rossi managed to save the shots from Guga and Otávio, securing the third consecutive championship for the Most Beloved.

IF FILIPE WAS A CHAMPION, IS HE A RECORD HOLDER?

With Filipe Luís as the Carioca champion, the coach made history at Flamengo as the coach with the most titles in Mengão of all time, tied with Carlinhos. In summary, the former full-back is a two-time state champion, in addition to having won the Libertadores, Brasileirão, Supercopa, and Copa do Brasil.
