0Flamengo suffers a 3-2 defeat against Grêmio in an exciting clash on Wednesday night, the 25th, at the Arena, in Porto Alegre. The game, valid for the 29th round of the Brazilian Championship, marked the end of Flamengo's seven-match unbeaten run against Grêmio. The red-and-black club, which had been dominating recent matches with four wins and two draws, saw Grêmio emerge victorious for the first time since 2018, when they won 2-0.
The result was a relief for the Grêmio fans, who had not seen their team win in the Brasileirão for four games, suffering three defeats and a draw. With the victory, Grêmio accumulated 47 points in the table, entering the fight for a direct place in the group stage of the Copa Libertadores da América. This turnaround is partly due to the defeat of Red Bull Bragantino, which placed Grêmio in sixth place in the Brazilian Championship.
While Grêmio revived its hopes in the Brasileirão, Flamengo maintained its position in the standings with 50 points, now occupying fourth place, as Red Bull Bragantino remains in second with 52 points. Despite the defeat, Flamengo remains in the G-4, keeping alive its chances of securing a direct place in the group stage of next year's Copa Libertadores da América.
The next challenge for Flamengo is scheduled for on November 1st, when they will face Santos at the Mané Garrincha Stadium, in Brasília, at 8pm (Brasília time). The postponement is due to the use of Maracanã, which will be under the care of the South American Football Confederation (Conmebol) for the final of the Copa Libertadores da América between Boca Juniors (ARG) and Fluminense. This period without games will be an opportunity for Flamengo to reorganize itself and resume its winning path in the Brazilian Championship.
Flamengo suffered its first defeat under Tite's command. This Wednesday (25), Rubro-Negro won 3-2, against Grêmio, in Porto Alegre. Everton Cebolinha opened the scoring in the first half, but, after the break, the home team came back better and scored three times. Luiz Araújo still scored in the final moments. Furthermore, the dream of the title becomes increasingly distant, as the gap to leader Botafogo remains at nine, with the rival having one game less.

The 31-year-old midfielder reveals that he is a Mengão fan and dreams of a possible debut in Brazilian football
|
0Rafinha 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.
