Who thinks that Flamengo is out of contention for the Brasileirão title, you are mistaken. The club has 48 points in 27 matches, while its direct competitors have already played 28. There are still ten rounds left until the end of the championship. Currently, there is a nine-point difference between leaders Botafogo, but if they win the delayed game against Internacional, that difference drops to six. In other words, if the team maintains the performance it had against Corinthians, under the command of Filipe Luís, the dream of the title remains alive.
To feed this dream and inspire Flamengo by Filipe Luís, check out four historic runs that led to the Brasileirão title by straight points.
Brasileirão 2009 – Flamengo
History shows that, when Flamengo wins, they usually win the cup. The 2009 campaign is one of the most emblematic. Led by Adriano and Petkovic, Andrade's team came from sixth place in the 27th round and reached the lead in the 37th. The trajectory was even more challenging, as the team had occupied 14th position in the 23rd round, which reinforces the impact of the sprint.
After 27 games, Flamengo occupies fourth place, a better position than in 2009 in the same round, when it started the race towards to the historical title. In the 32nd round, the team stumbled against Barueri, leaving six points behind the leader. But, with a victory over Santos, they once again dreamed of the title and secured the cup in the last round, turning around Grêmio with Ronaldo Angelim's header.
With more games to play, Flamengo can reduce the gap to six points if they beat Internacional on October 30th.
Brasileirão 2020 – Flamengo
To cite a more recent example, 2020 is also a year that symbolizes Flamengo's race and determination. Under the command of Rogério Ceni, the team needed a breakthrough to secure the title. With no other competitions to compete in, the club had Gabigol as a key player, a player who could also be fundamental for Filipe Luís.
The team's performance during the season was not the best, and São Paulo and Internacional took the lead. São Paulo, in particular, opened an 11-point lead. However, Flamengo put together an incredible sequence in the final stretch and, in the penultimate round, defeated Internacional in a direct confrontation, taking the lead. Despite having lost to São Paulo in the final round, Inter did not beat Corinthians, and Flamengo became champions.
Brasileirão 2008 – São Paulo
A year before Flamengo's epic run, São Paulo staged a similar turnaround, taking the lead in the 33rd round. The team needed a good recovery, as Grêmio finished the first round with an 11 point advantage.
After the defeat to Grêmio in the 20th round, São Paulo never lost again. There were 12 wins and six draws, guaranteeing the third championship under the command of Muricy Ramalho.
Brasileirão 2018 – Palmeiras
In 2018, it was Palmeiras' turn to consolidate their run towards the title. After finishing the first round in sixth place, the team did not lose in the second round. The team took the lead in the 27th round and maintained the lead until the end, with 14 wins and five draws.

"We have urgent needs, we didn't have seven or eight players, we used all the pieces we have and we know we need more, we had needs and shortages, and that made me even speed up the process that would have taken a while longer, but the urgency and availability of the athlete made us believe it was possible and as it was, he created good opportunities during the game ", said Dorival about Vitinho.
Vitinho played for Flamengo between 2018 and 2022, winning nine titles, including the Brasileirão, Copa Libertadores, Supercopa do Brasil, and Campeonato Carioca.
