Flamengo Chases the Brasileirão Crown at the Maracanã
So, picture this moment: the Maracanã is packed, the atmosphere is buzzing, and Flamengo walks onto the pitch with the chance to secure yet another major title—just days after lifting the Copa Libertadores trophy. That’s exactly the scenario unfolding as Flamengo faces Ceará in this crucial 37th-round Brasileirão match. It’s one of those games where everything feels like it’s aligning for a historic night.
The match kicks off at 21:30 (Brasília time), and it’s being broadcast live on Globo, Premiere, and ge TV on YouTube. But the real storyline isn’t just about where to watch—it’s about what’s at stake. Flamengo leads the league with 75 points, while Palmeiras trails behind at 70. With only two rounds left, a victory tonight would seal the Brazilian title for Flamengo right there on their home turf. Even a draw or a loss might still crown them champions, but that would depend on Palmeiras failing to beat Atlético-MG. In other words, everything is set up for a massive celebration.

And the CBF is fully prepared. The trophy has already been brought to the stadium in anticipation of a title celebration. If Flamengo confirms the title tonight, the final-round match against Mirassol will be moved forward to Saturday. The reason is quite practical: Flamengo travels to Qatar for the Intercontinental Cup next week, and the extra day would help the team recover, reorganize, and prepare for their debut against Cruz Azul.
On the other side, Ceará steps into the Maracanã needing a win to breathe calmer in the table. The team hasn’t picked up three points since their win over Corinthians on November 9, and they arrive with several absences due to suspensions and injuries. Still, they’re determined to push back, even against Flamengo’s momentum and the pressure of a title-chasing crowd.
Flamengo, led by Filipe Luís, goes in with its best available squad. Pedro remains out with a thigh injury and a forearm fracture, but Plata returns after his suspension and is fighting for a place in the starting lineup. The team is clearly focused—not just on this match, but on ending the season with another trophy and heading into the Intercontinental Cup with maximum confidence.
There’s even a curious twist to the story: if Flamengo wins the title tonight, it will mirror what happened in 2019, when the club became Libertadores and Brasileirão champions in the same week. Back then, the match that confirmed the national title was also against Ceará. The coincidences just make tonight feel even more like destiny.
So as the teams step onto the field—Flamengo one win away from glory, Ceará fighting for survival—the stage is set for a dramatic night in Brazilian football. Whether it turns into a title celebration or a push to the final round, all eyes are fixed on the Maracanã.
