First Brazilian Team to…

This Saturday (29th), we celebrated a historic moment as Flamengo became the first Brazilian club to clinch the Libertadores title four times.

They secured the trophy in 2025, triumphing over Palmeiras with a narrow 1-0 victory in the final, thanks to a goal from Danilo.

Alongside Palmeiras, Flamengo also surpassed three other Brazilian clubs that have won the prestigious tournament three times: Santos, São Paulo, and Grêmio.
