Botafogo owner John Textor mocks Flamengo after Carioca title 🏆 | OneFootball

What did John Textor say about Flamengo's Carioca title?

The three consecutive championships of Flamengo in the Carioca seem to have bothered their rivals. During the State Championship award ceremony this Monday (09), John Textor, owner of Botafogo's SAF, made a sarcastic remark about Rubro-Negro's achievement, recalling that the team from General Savariano is the only one to have won four consecutive titles.

— I know tonight is dedicated to Flamengo for winning the Campeonato Carioca. I want to congratulate them for the three consecutive titles. Senator Portinho, a great Flamengo fan, knows I never miss a chance to congratulate Flamengo. So, from the heart, from Botafogo, winner of four consecutive Carioca titles, congratulations - said Textor.

How many Carioca titles has Flamengo won?

With the trophy from last Sunday (08), Flamengo reached its 40th Carioca title. In this way, Rubro-Negro further extends its lead in the ranking, since Fluminense, in second place, has only 33 trophies.

In addition, Flamengo won the Carioca three-peat with the title in the 2026 season. After all, Rubro-Negro also lifted the State Championship trophy in 2024, against Nova Iguaçu, and in 2025, also against Fluminense.

What is Flamengo's next match?

After winning the Carioca, Flamengo now turns its focus to the Brasileirão. Thus, this Wednesday (11), Leonardo Jardim's team faces Cruzeiro at 9:30 pm (Brasília time), at Maracanã, for the fifth round of the national championship.

As tradition dictates, Coluna do Fla will bring all the details about the match between Flamengo and Cruzeiro, through YouTube, the website, and social media. However, Globo (broadcast TV), GE TV (YouTube) and Premiere (pay-per-view) will broadcast the Brasileirão match.
