On December 3, 2023, Flamengo experienced a moment of great importance in its history, not just for guaranteeing classification for the group stage of the Libertadores of the year next, but also for saying goodbye to one of his greatest idols. Filipe Luís, still a club player, entered the field at a packed Maracanã against Cuiabá. The 2-1 victory was not only important for the team, but it marked the last chapter in the successful career of Filipe Luís, who, with his commitment, said goodbye with the same enthusiasm as always.
Filipe Luís showed, once again, his importance on the field. Even in a moment of farewell, the left-back did not settle down. He was the leader in tackles in the match and stood out as one of the athletes with the most successful passes, helping Flamengo achieve the essential victory. The game against Cuiabá was not just festive, but a crucial moment for the red-and-black team that was looking for a place in the next edition of the Libertadores. His delivery on the field showed that the idol was willing to leave his mark until the last moment.
FILIPE'S EMOTION LUÍS
December 3, 2023 was marked by a great emotional charge for Filipe Luís. Upon entering the field, the player came across a 3D mosaic that was displayed in the North sector of Maracanã. The image portrayed Filipe alongside his grandfather Ivo Stinghen, with the words “From father to son, from grandfather to grandson.” This tribute was an emotional moment, not only for the player, but for everyone present at the stadium, who could feel the strength of the family bond and the importance of this relationship for the career of Filipe.
Ivo Stinghen, Filipe Luís' grandfather, played a fundamental role in shaping the player's passion for Flamengo. In the midst of a family divided between the red-black and Santos colors, it was Ivo who won his grandson's heart for Flamengo, with his love for the club. The tribute at the stadium was a recognition of this love story, which began long before Filipe Luís became one of the greatest left-backs in world football. This affection was visible in the moment when the player, visibly moved, came across the mosaic.
FAMILY TRIBUTES TO AN IDOL SPECIAL
In front of the tribute at the stadium and surrounded by his family, Filipe Luís couldn't contain his tears. Emotion took over the idol, who, alongside his children Tiago, Sara and Lucas, had one of the most touching moments of his career. The scene of the full-back not even crying alongside his children, and the memory of his grandfather Ivo, will be forever remembered by all Flamengo fans. This moment marked not only his farewell to football, but also his deep connection with his roots and Flamengo fans.
Filipe Luís said goodbye to football with the same competence and humility that accompanied him throughout his career. With the victory over Cuiabá, Flamengo managed to guarantee qualification for the Libertadores group stage, something that seemed distant at certain times. Filipe Luís' legacy goes beyond his performances on the field, but also the way he gave himself to Flamengo and became a symbol of dedication and love for the club. His departure will be remembered by many, especially younger people, who consider him an example to be followed.

After the away win over Juventude , Filipe Luís took advantage of the press conference to discuss Saúl's current form. The Spaniard has been one of the team's standouts this season , contributing assists, marking, and attacking presence. For the coach, the midfielder is enjoying the peak of his career and is a model of professionalism.
"We're seeing the best Saúl . Perhaps the best Saúl of his career. That's thanks to him and, obviously, to the club for believing in and being able to recapture this player's potential. Everyone knows about his career and the crucial role he played wherever he went , especially at Atlético Madrid. But recapturing the best Saúl was a challenge, and it was up to him," he said before concluding.
" He's at a very high level. I think having a son is always a great motivator . I also didn't expect that after all this effort, waking up at 4 a.m., catching two flights, and playing here for 90 minutes, he would play with such quality. He's a unique player, and we're very lucky to have him here with us," said Filipe Luís.
Saúl was one of the players responsible for the decisive pass that led to the first goal in the victory against Juventude and has been consistently performing in various competitions. According to members of the football department, his dedication to training and his quick adaptation to the club have been key factors in his improved performance.
With Filipe Luís at the helm, Mengão has 50 points in the Brazilian Championship and still has a game in hand . Their next match will be in the Libertadores, against Estudiantes, on Thursday at 9:30 pm at Maracanã.

While acknowledging the magnitude of the quarterfinal match against Estudiantes, the coach emphasized that all his preparation up to that point had been focused on the Brazilian Championship.
"You're right when you say it's the most important game of the year. For me, it is. Given the importance of the Libertadores quarterfinals against Estudiantes. After the incredible season we've had, of course it's the most important game of the year. But honestly, I only prepared for the Juventude game. I did everything thinking about how to beat Juventude," he said before concluding.
"Starting tomorrow, we'll begin studying and working to determine the best solutions to face Estudiantes. They're undoubtedly a formidable opponent, especially since they're one of the Argentine teams that competes so well. We have Central Córdoba in the group stage as an example," said the coach.
With the positive result in Caxias do Sul, Flamengo reached 50 points in the Brasileirão and maintained its sole lead, with a game in hand over second-place Palmeiras. Cruzeiro is in third place and could close the gap in the standings. The match against Estudiantes is scheduled for Thursday at 9:30 pm at Maracanã.
