After the match, Flamengo's football director, Marcos Braz, tried to take Cláudio Castro to the Rio team's dressing room, but the president of Palmeiras, Leila Pereira, vetoed his entry of the politician. Leila's order led Allianz Parque security guards to block access for the group accompanying the governor, triggering confusion in the mixed area of the stadium.

I want his name", shouted Barros, visibly angry as he left Allianz Parque hours after his elimination.

The Flamengo, one of the biggest clubs in Brazilian football, is experiencing a moment of turbulence.
