The 2024 season started ‘smiling’ for Flamengo. Rubro-Negro reached 12 games unbeaten after beating Fluminense 2-0 last Sunday, in the tenth round of the Campeonato Carioca. The milestone made Clube da Gávea once again experience its longest streak without defeat since 2022. At the time, the red-black team reached 19 matches without losing. In this period, Mais Queria won 15 duels and drew four.
It is worth remembering that the year 2022 was very good for Mengão, especially in terms of titles won. The team won its third Libertadores, at the time, as well as the Copa do Brasil.
In the current season, there have already been ten official games for the Campeonato Carioca. The other two took place in pre-season friendlies in the United States. Therefore, in total, Clube da Gávea won eight duels and drew four this year. In other words, the utilization of Mengão is 77%.
Due to the excellent performance of the season, with the right to an unbeaten streak, Flamengo has 'one hand' in the Guanabara Cup. This is because the positive result against Fluminense made Mengo open three points in the lead, totaling 24.
In this way, the tricolor team, in second place, will only surpass Rubro-Negro in the last round if they win and end the difference in goal difference, which is currently 11. Furthermore, the Laranjeiras team needs to hope for a stumble from Mengão. Fla is now preparing with a focus on the 11th round of the Carioca Championship. Thus, Clube da Gávea faces Madureira, in the last round of the Guanabara Cup. The match starts at 4pm (Brasília time) on Saturday (02), at Maracanã.
The Rio de Janeiro club is finding it difficult to sign Lucas Beltrán and is now considering the Italian club's player as a viable option for the red-black attack.

Flamengo has turned its attention to a new target in the European market. After noticing the difficulties in negotiating with Lucas Beltrán, currently at Fiorentina, Flamengo officials began inquiries about Inter Milan striker Mehdi Taremi . The change in direction in negotiations was revealed by Italian journalist Pietro Lazzerini.
According to the investigation, despite being the only club to express concrete interest in Beltrán, the Argentine player prefers to remain in European football. Fiorentina, for its part, has not received any other offers , limiting his exit options. Even so, the player's lack of reciprocity towards the Rio de Janeiro club has led Mengão to consider other options to strengthen its attack.
The new name under consideration is Mehdi Taremi , a 33-year-old Iranian player who forms an attacking partnership with Lautaro Martínez at Inter. Despite his Champions League runner-up status, the striker's season has not been particularly impressive. Over the 2024/25 season, he appeared in 52 matches and scored just eight goals and 11 assists.
He has contributed 19 goals, including some for the Iranian national team during World Cup qualifying. For Inter Milan, Taremi scored once in the Champions League, once in Serie A, and once in the Supercoppa. Despite his underperforming performance, his name appeals to the Inter Milan board due to his international experience.
So far, there's no official confirmation of an offer from Flamengo . However, the interest is real and growing as time passes without progress with Beltrán. The board's plan is to accelerate negotiations during the transfer window , especially with the final stretch of the 2025 competitions approaching.

Flamengo returns to the field this Wednesday (6) , with an important challenge: to reverse the 1-0 defeat suffered against Atlético-MG, at Maracanã, in the first leg of the round of 16 of the Copa do Brasil. The decision takes place at Arena MRV, in Belo Horizonte, at 7 pm (Brasília time).
To secure a spot in the tournament's quarterfinals, the Rio de Janeiro club needs to win by two goals. If they win by just one goal, the match will be decided on penalties. This match is considered a priority by the coach and squad, who are striving to keep the club alive in all competitions this season.
Even with the momentary focus on the Copa do Brasil , the red-black fans are already mobilizing for the team's next big commitment of the season: the first leg against Internacional in the round of 16 of the Copa Libertadores da América.
Scheduled for Wednesday, August 13th, at 9:30 pm (Brasília time), the match at Maracanã marks the beginning of the knockout stage between the teams. Flamengo advanced as second-placed team in its group, meaning it will decide the standings away from home, at Beira-Rio, in the second leg on August 20th.
The expectation of a large attendance is confirmed with ticket sales: more than 55,000 tickets have already been sold. Three sections are officially sold out: North, Lower West, and Lower East. Sales remain open for the remaining sections and have been open to the general public since July 26th.

Flamengo returns to the field this Wednesday, August 6, 2025, with a clear objective: to secure a spot in the quarterfinals of the Copa do Brasil. After losing the first leg 1-0 to Atlético-MG at Maracanã, the "Mais Querido" will have to win by two goals at Arena MRV in Belo Horizonte at 7 p.m. (Brasília time).
If they win by a single goal, the match will go to penalties . A draw or another loss will eliminate Filipe Luís 's team from the national competition. The match will be broadcast on SporTV and Premiere.
For Atlético-MG, one of the main new additions for the match is defensive midfielder Alexsander. The player, who made his debut for the club in the first game against Flamengo , returned to the starting lineup last weekend in the 2-1 victory over Red Bull Bragantino in the Brazilian Championship.
Atlético-MG midfielder talks about Flamengo: "It has this different flavor"
In an interview given after his official presentation on Monday (4), the former Fluminense player spoke about the importance of the match and highlighted the opponent's weight. " It's a special game because it's a big team , because we're always beating finals. So, it has this different flavor because of that, because we know the game will be difficult and will be decided in details. And the level always rises in games like this. We'll come out with the result we want," he said.
For the match in Minas Gerais, Flamengo will likely be at full strength, including the return of key players who have been undergoing fitness evaluations in recent days . The coaching staff expects the team to be aggressive from the opening minutes, seeking to overturn the first leg's score.
