Controversial past with Flamengo

Andreas Pereira’s relationship with Flamengo is marked by controversial episodes. The player had a stint at the Rio de Janeiro club between 2021 and 2022, a period in which he became known for a crucial mistake in the 2021 Copa Libertadores final, which resulted in Palmeiras winning the title. In this season, after Palmeiras lost the Libertadores final to Flamengo themselves, Andreas was the target of provocations and chose to delete photos in which he appeared wearing the red-and-black shirt.

Criticism and statements

The athlete also criticized Flamengo’s attitude during the Libertadores final in Lima. In an interview with Estadão, Andreas Pereira commented on the situation: “I respect all clubs. I have never disrespected anyone. If they think it’s more important to talk about me when they win a title, that shows the greatness of Palmeiras. They’re more concerned about me than celebrating the Libertadores.”

Andreas Pereira joined Palmeiras in 2025 and has established himself as an important part of the Verdão squad, despite the controversies surrounding his history with the Rio club.
