Flamengo suffered a 3-2 defeat at the hands of Grêmio last Wednesday night (25), in an exciting clash valid for the 29th round of the Brazilian Championship. The match not only marked the end of a negative sequence that had already lasted five years for coach Renato Gaúcho against Rubro-Negro, but also left fans and analysts perplexed by the way the game unfolded.
Renato Gaúcho, an icon in the world of football, finally managed to beat Flamengo after facing them 11 times in the last five years, during which time they had lost on nine occasions and drawn only twice. This feat puts an exclamation point on his career, and the coach enthusiastically celebrated his team's upset of the Rio team. In the first half, it looked like Flamengo would further extend its unbeaten streak against Renato Gaúcho.
Everton Cebolinha opened the scoring in the 42nd minute. However, Grêmio recovered in the second stage and managed to break this negative series, scoring three goals and turning the game around. It was a spectacle of twists and turns and emotions on the field. Flamengo saw not only its unbeaten record against Renato Gaúcho break, but also its streak of seven unbeaten games at the Arena, in Porto Alegre, came to an end.
The last time Grêmio had beaten Flamengo in their home ground had been in 2018, when they defeated the Rio club 2-0 in a Brazilian Championship clash. Since then, Flamengo has maintained an unbeaten record with four wins and two draws. With the defeat, Flamengo remains with 50 points in the Brazilian Championship standings, falling to fourth place in the tournament. Red Bull Bragantino remains in second place with 52 points.
Despite this setback, Flamengo is still in the G-4, remaining in contention for a direct place in the group stage of the Copa Libertadores da América in the next year. Flamengo's next challenge is scheduled for November 1st, when they will face Santos at the Mané Garrincha Stadium, in Brasília, at 8pm (Brasília time). This is due to the handover of Maracanã to the South American Football Confederation (Conmebol) for the final of the Copa Libertadores da América between Boca Juniors (ARG) and Fluminense. The Rio team will have the opportunity to bounce back after this unexpected defeat and continue their fight for the Brazilian Championship title and glory in the Copa Libertadores.

The 31-year-old midfielder reveals that he is a Mengão fan and dreams of a possible debut in Brazilian football

Rafinha Alcântara, currently without a club since ending his contract with Al-Arabi, from Qatar, in July, made it clear that he has a great connection with Flamengo, even though he has never played in Brazilian football. In an interview with the program Que Partidazo, in 2019, the midfielder, who built his career internationally, revealed that he was a long-time fan of Mais Querido.
During the interview, the 31-year-old player, son of four-time champion Mazinho, recalled his career in European football, where he played for big clubs, such as Barcelona and Paris Saint-Germain. But what caught the attention of Mengão fans was his confession that he dreams of one day wearing the CRF shirt.
“I do think about playing for Flamengo. Everyone knows that I'm a big fan and supporter of the club. I followed and was very happy with the Brasileirão and Libertadores titles. It’s a dream to wear the Flamengo shirt”, said Rafinha Alcântara, generating euphoria among the red and black fans.
After his public statement, Flamengo's board of directors even investigated the situation of the player, who at the time was still linked to European football and had no intention of returning to Brazil. Now, without a club and free on the market, Rafinha can arrive at the Rio club without transfer costs, but Mengão's directors do not seem to have the athlete as a priority at the moment.
Still, there is speculation that Rafinha Alcântara could be made official at Gávea for the 2025 season, depending on changes in the squad and technical committee, which is currently led by Tite.
Rafinha Alcântara began his career in Barcelona's youth teams, where he played until being promoted to the professional squad. Over the years, he has spent time at clubs such as Celta de Vigo, Inter Milan, Real Sociedad, as well as Paris Saint-Germain, where he played alongside Neymar. His last club was Al-Arabi, in Qatar, where he played 40 matches, scored nine goals and provided 10 assists.
