Flamengo’s Appearances in the Intercontinental Cup

1981: Conquering the World

With two goals from Zico, Flamengo defeated Cobreloa from Chile 2-0 in the final and won their first Libertadores. In the Intercontinental, the Cariocas faced Liverpool, who had already won three editions of the Champions League in the previous five years and were the sensation team of Europe. At the National Stadium in Tokyo, the Carioca team won with two goals from Nunes and one from Adílio, claiming the title and reaching the top of the world.

2019: The Magical Year

In addition to winning the Brazilian Championship that year, the Rubro-Negro defeated River Plate in the final in Lima with two goals from Gabigol and secured their spot in the Intercontinental. In Qatar, Flamengo overcame Al-Hilal 3-1 in the semifinal.

After 38 years, Flamengo once again faced Liverpool in an intercontinental final. Despite a hard-fought match, the English came out on top and, after an assist from Sadio Mané, the Brazilian Roberto Firmino scored the only goal of the match in extra time.

2022: The Surprise

Just like in 2019, Gabigol scored in the final and brought the Libertadores to Rio de Janeiro. Despite remnants of the team that reached the final three years earlier, Flamengo fell in the semifinal of the Intercontinental. The opponent was once again Al-Hilal, but this time the Saudi team defeated the Cariocas and secured their spot in the final against Real Madrid.

With two penalties converted by Salem Al-Dawsari and a goal from Pedro in the first half, the fans believed in a comeback, but Luciano Vietto scored Al-Hilal’s third goal, sealing the victory. Pedro still found the net at the end of the match, ending the duel with a bitter 3-2 for the Flamengo fans.
