Palmeiras fan says Leila must stop taunting Flamengo: “Only took a b...”

Felippe Facincani does not agree with Leila Pereira’s jokes aimed at Flamengo

Palmeiras president Leila Pereira ‘can’t stop talking about Flamengo.’ This week, the chairwoman took a jab at Mengão, calling the four-time Libertadores champion “the Real Madrid of Shopee.” A declared supporter of the São Paulo club, journalist Felippe Facincani made a request to the executive.

Facincani perdeu a paciência com as provocações de Leila Pereira ao Flamengo. 🗣️ "Tirando 2021 a final da Libertadores, o Palmeiras só levou pau do Flamengo em Campeonato Brasileiro desde 2018 (...) É um histórico patético pro Palmeiras." 📹Link Alviverde

— In matches between Flamengo and Palmeiras, it’s a pathetic record for Palmeiras. Pathetic. I say this with pain in my heart, but it is. Apart from 2021, the Libertadores final, Palmeiras has only been beaten by Flamengo in the Brazilian Championship. They haven’t won since 2018. There’s no such thing as artificial turf, no. They got beaten on artificial turf, on natural grass, at the Maracanã, at Allianz Parque. They lost last year’s Libertadores final. Palmeiras lost the edge it had to mock Flamengo. Flamengo got them back in a very painful way, which was surpassing Palmeiras in number of titles —, said Facincani. — And, above all, Flamengo won the Brasileirão that it had practically thrown away. Palmeiras had the championship on a silver platter and stumbled. From the moment you have no result whatsoever to justify provocation, I would rather she (Leila) didn’t have a specific target. The fewer the provocations, the less instability Palmeiras would have. Last year, the backstage debates affected Palmeiras psychologically —, the journalist added.

WHAT ARE THE RECENT NUMBERS IN THE FLAMENGO VS. PALMEIRAS MATCHUP?

In 2025, Flamengo simply humiliated Palmeiras. In the Brasileirão, there were two red-and-black wins: 2-0 at Allianz Parque and 3-2 at the Maracanã. Then, in the Libertadores final — with a goal from Danilo — Brazil’s Most Beloved club claimed its fourth title in Lima, Peru.

In the last 20 matches between the teams, across all competitions, there have been ten wins for Flamengo, seven draws, and only three victories for Palmeiras. One of those results, in fact, felt like a defeat for the São Paulo side, since it happened in the 2024 Copa do Brasil. In the first leg, Mengo won 2-0 and advanced even after a 1-0 loss.

WHEN ARE THE NEXT FLAMENGO VS. PALMEIRAS MATCHES?

Much to Felippe Facincani’s despair, Flamengo and Palmeiras will face off next month, on May 23, at the Maracanã. Later, at the end of November, the teams will meet again in the Brasileirão. There is also the possibility of meetings in the knockout rounds of the Copa do Brasil and the Copa Libertadores.
