Flamengo was beaten by Palmeiras last Saturday (23), 3-0, at the Maracanã, in a match valid for the Brazilian Championship. As a result, the Rubro-Negro side fell further behind in the title race and also dropped in the ranking of the tournament’s best home teams.
At the moment, Flamengo has just 14 points in seven home matches in the 2026 Brazilian Championship. That means the club coached by Leonardo Jardim is the 10th-best team when playing in front of its own fans.
Flamengo has four wins in that span. In addition, the team drew twice and lost once, precisely last Saturday (23). Finally, it scored 13 goals and conceded seven. As a result, it sits behind Vasco, Grêmio, São Paulo, Vitória, Palmeiras, Athletico-PR and Fluminense.
With the loss to Palmeiras, Flamengo remained on 31 points and stays in second place in the Brazilian Championship. However, the Rubro-Negro team saw its rival pull away at the top, now on 38 points, albeit with one more match played.
However, Flamengo is putting the Brazilian Championship aside and turning its focus back to the Copa Libertadores. The Most Beloved takes the field this Tuesday (26) against Cusco (PER) at 9:30 p.m. Brasília time, at the Maracanã, in the fifth round of the tournament.
