Flamengo is an eight-time champion. Three of these titles, however, were won in the points race era, which began in 2003. Thus, the Rubro-Negro won the hexa in 2009, the hepta in 2019, and the last one in 2020.

Where was Flamengo in the 27th round of those years?

Therefore, this year's Flamengo campaign, up to the 27th round, is only surpassed by the year 2019. In that edition, however, the team was coached by Jorge Jesus and had the best moment of several athletes' careers.

What do 2009 and 2020 have in common?

The year of the hexa and the octa were only decided in the last round of the Brasileirão. That's because in 2009, the Rubro-Negro had to turn the game around against Grêmio and, in 2020, they had to hope Internacional would lose until the final whistle.

When is the next match?

Under the pressure of not being able to stumble anymore, Filipe Luís' Flamengo plays on the 15th of this month. Thus, the Rubro-Negro faces Botafogo, starting at 7:30 PM (Brasília time), for the 28th round of the Brasileirão.
