Flamengo took to the field this afternoon Sunday for the Brazilian Championship. With a well-depleted team and Tite (suspended) outside the technical area, the red and black team ended up in a 1-1 draw with Athletico-Pr, at Arena da Baixada, in Curitiba. The draw kept Fla in first place, but their direct rivals for the top are still playing this Sunday.
Summary
Very busy game so far, but also truncated and with few clear chances. The first to take the risk was Flamengo, with Lorran hitting from outside for Léo Linck's defense, at 14. Athletico arrived with three shots from Nikão. At 19 and 27 they were in the hands of Rossi. At 28, with more danger, the ball went out. Fla threatened again with a bomb from Gerson, at 42, from above. In the rest, bad passes on both sides and the defensive systems got the better of them.
In the second half, the situation didn't change much. However, Fla reached the goal that would open the scoring for the visitors. David Luiz receives the ball in the area on the left, passes it to the middle, and Luiz Araújo deflects it. The ball ends up at the feet of Gabigol, who sends it into the empty goal, celebrates, but the referee calls it offside. Matheus Bach tried to change the team, but it had little effect in a game, which despite having had chances, was very warm.
However, when the lights went out, the one who scored and gave final numbers to the game was the Athletico. After consulting the VAR, Daronco points out a touch on David Luiz's arm in the area following a shot by Julimar. Penalty scored and converted by Fernandinho.
Fla came out on top to equalize and managed to do so. Evertton Araújo goal! Luiz Araújo takes a corner, sends it into the middle of the area, and Evertton Araújo heads it straight towards the goal. Flamengo equalizes in the last minute!
What now?
With the draw, Flamengo reaches 18 points and remains at the top of the competition for now, as Bahia and Botafogo still play in the round. Now, Tite's team needs to think about their next opponent in the national championship.
In short, the red and black team faces Bahia, in a direct confrontation for leadership, next Thursday, at Maracanã. The duel is scheduled for 8pm.

Pedro's situation at Flamengo has taken on new chapters in recent days. After being left out of the squad against São Paulo, the striker became a hot topic due to public criticism from the team's coach, Filipe Luís, who cited poor training performance as the reason for his exclusion.
The statement caused discomfort among the player's representatives, who are now considering a possible exit from the club. Behind the scenes, a member of Flamengo's football department even stated that they would accept a €15 million (R$97.5 million) offer to negotiate the player.
BUT AFTER ALL, HOW MUCH IS SHIRT NUMBER 9 WORTH ON THE MARKET?
According to the website Transfermarkt , Pedro is currently valued at €22 million , equivalent to R$143 million at the current exchange rate. So, see what
Evolution of Pedro's market value
- 05/2018 Fluminense €1.5 million
- 02/2019 Fluminense €9 million
- 08/2019 Fluminense €18 million
- 12/2019 Fiorentina €15 million
- 09/2020 Flamengo €12 million
- 05/2021 Flamengo €14 million
- 04/2022 Flamengo €10 million
- 11/2022 Flamengo €20 million
- 07/2023 Flamengo €22 million
- 06/2024 Flamengo €23 million
- 06/2025 Flamengo €22 million
SITUATION AT FLAMENGO
Knee surgery and strain with the coaching staff caused Pedro's market value to stagnate after peaking in 2024. Now, even though he is valued at over R$140 million, Flamengo is considering selling him for much less than the estimated value.
It remains to be seen what the next step in the striker's career will be, and whether any club will be willing to pay the Rubro-Negro's desired price.

Flamengo has officially begun negotiations with Agustín Rossi regarding a possible contract renewal. The Argentine goalkeeper, whose contract runs until December 2027, has expressed his desire to extend his contract with the club, with a salary increase included in the negotiations. The information was released by journalist Gabriel Reis, known as "Paparazzo Rubro-Negro."
EVERYTHING RESOLVED BETWEEN FLAMENGO AND ROSSI
Last Monday (14), Rossi's agent was at Ninho do Urubu to begin talks. The expectation is that the parties will move forward in July to align the terms of a new contract . Internally, the move is seen as a way to value a player who has established himself as a key part of the squad.
Rossi arrived at Flamengo at the start of the 2023 season, after excelling at Boca Juniors. With solid performances and consistency, he quickly assumed a starting position. Since then, he has put in strong performances and provides security in the defense. His current contract runs until the end of 2027, but the player's staff believes a raise is commensurate with his performance.
A TIME OF AFFIRMATION
Despite the interest in keeping Rossi for longer, the club's board, under the leadership of football director José Boto, has prioritized other renewals at the moment. Cases like that of full-back Guillermo Varela, whose contract runs until the end of this year, and midfielder Arrascaeta, whose contract runs until 2026, are on the immediate agenda.
Even without rushing, Rossi 's name is already on the table at the club's management. Boto understands that the appreciation of strategic assets is part of the club's policy, and that the Argentine goalkeeper, given his solid performance, deserves special consideration. The topic should advance in parallel with other areas of the football department.
