The lawyer, professor, former councilor and representative of the Federation of Residents' Associations (FAM-Rio) on the Rio Urban Policy Council Sonia Rabello wrote an article in Diário do Rio stating that the expropriation of the Gasometer land by the City Hall of Rio for the construction of the Flamengo stadium “is neither legitimate nor constitutional”.
The basic argument used by Sonia to justify this point of view, however, is based on a false premise: that the expropriated land by Paes belongs to Caixa Econômica Federal. In reality, the land belongs to a private fund that is only managed by Caixa, as shown by the General Property Registry documents.
“A point that must be clear from the beginning, as explained directly by the Mayor of Rio, is that he is using his greatest state power, as head of the municipal Executive, to remove from CEF, a public bank federal, the right to own a plot of land measuring 88 thousand square meters to allocate this asset specifically to a private entity/company; in other words, for this private legal entity, the Flamengo club, to carry out its business and private activity – a football club/stadium with other social attractions”, she writes at the beginning of the article.
It turns out that not only is the land not owned by Caixa, but Paes is not specifically allocating it to Flamengo. The property will be put up for auction and other companies and clubs will be able to make proposals if they are interested in fulfilling the conditions that will be established in the notice for the purchase and use of the land.
Based on this false argument that is repeated several times in the text, in which the property that will be expropriated is referred to as “Caixa Econômica Federal land” and “Caixa asset”, the former councilor argues that only the Union would have the power to expropriate the land. She also questions the city hall's arguments for expropriation and Flamengo's right to build its stadium on the land.
“It should be noted that for this legal-conceptual analysis it is of little importance whether the club is large, medium, or small, loved or not, with many or few fans, or whether or not it deserves such a benefit. There are countless private entities in the city and in the world, companies, businesses, factories, schools, hospitals, housing, concert areas that, in each person's view, may or may not deserve to be offered equal benefits”, he stated.

Flamengo defeated Argentina's Estudiantes 2-1 at the Maracanã Stadium . The red-and-black team decided the match in the first half with goals from Pedro and Varela. Mengão gave Estudiantes no time to breathe in Rio de Janeiro with a lightning goal.
Just 15 seconds in, Pedro capitalized on a pass from Plata, turned on his marker, and fired a left-footed shot to open the scoring. The quick goal undermined Argentina's strategy and galvanized the Rio de Janeiro team, who continued to press. A few minutes later, Ayrton Lucas crossed from the left and Varela hit a beautiful volley into Muslera's corner, extending the red-and-blacks' lead in the first half.
Even with a two-goal lead, Flamengo maintained control and nearly made it three with Pedro, whose shot was spectacularly saved by the Uruguayan goalkeeper. Estudiantes , for their part, barely threatened Rossi's goal and only managed to partially level the score in the final minutes of the first half . The feeling at Maracanã was that the 2-0 scoreline was a cheap one for the visitors.
In the second half, the pace dropped. Coach Eduardo Domínguez made substitutions, trying to give the Argentine team more momentum, but he ran into the red-and-black defense. The match was not without its tense moments, with cards for Saúl, Samuel Lino, and Alexis Castro, and Plata's sending-off after a second yellow card in a dispute with Facundo Rodríguez . At the end of the second half, Estudiantes scored in the 46th minute to leave the match open in Argentina.
With the 2-1 victory, Flamengo takes the lead in the quarterfinals of the Libertadores. The return leg is scheduled for the 25th, at 9:30 pm, at the Jorge Luis Hirschi Stadium, in Argentina. Before that, the team led by Tite faces Vasco next Sunday (21), for the Brazilian Championship, again at Maracanã.

Forward Pedro needed just 14 seconds to open the scoring for Flamengo against Estudiantes in a Copa Libertadores quarterfinal match. The lightning strike became the Rubro-Negro's fastest goal in the competition's history , surpassing Gerson's record and also surpassing Lucas Paquetá's historic mark, which held the club's fastest goal in an official match.
Until then, Flamengo 's fastest goal in the Libertadores was Gerson's, who had scored after 56 seconds against Bolívar, in 2024. Even so, in the current edition of the tournament, Pedro's goal was the second fastest overall , behind only Artur's goal, from Botafogo, which shook the net against LDU after 13 seconds in the round of 16.
