Copa Libertadores: Flamengo clinches fourth title against Palmeiras

Flamengo Copa Libertadores Champion 2025

Last night, Flamengo managed to tame Palmeiras (1-0) in the Copa Libertadores final.

It's done! Flamengo has secured their fourth Copa Libertadores crown by overcoming Palmeiras 1-0 in the final in Lima. The match was decided by a corner kick in the second half, finished off by a Danilo header in the 67th minute—a scenario the defender had clearly anticipated. "We worked a lot on set pieces. I knew we’d get a chance, and I made the most of it," beamed the former Juventus man.

This was the fifth all-Brazilian final in the last six years, giving Flamengo the chance to exact revenge on Palmeiras after their 2021 defeat. Now, Flamengo can set their sights on a historic double: with just two matches left in the league, the Cariocas hold a five-point lead over their rivals and need only two more points to secure the championship.
