Real Madrid had no trouble beating Real Oviedo this Sunday (24). Playing at the Carlos Tartiere Stadium, away from home, the team from the Spanish capital won 3-0, with a great performance by Vini Jr, revealed by Flamengo, who scored a great goal and also gave an assist . The striker, however, should be left out of Ancelotti's call-up .
In stoppage time, in the 48th minute of the second half, Real Madrid launched a counterattack with Brahim Díaz on the right . The midfielder switched play and found Vinicius Júnior free . The striker controlled the ball, charged at his marker, burst into the box, and finished with style, scoring a stunning goal.
Before that, Frenchman Mbappé had opened the scoring in the 37th minute of the first half. In the second half, again with Vini Jr. participating, the number 7 made the play and provided the assist for the number 10 , who completed the goal and extended the lead.
With his goal and assist against Real Oviedo, Vinicius Júnior earned his first direct appearances of the season for Real Madrid . The performance raises expectations for the striker's return to the Brazilian national team, now under Carlo Ancelotti's command.
Meanwhile, Flamengo, the club that revealed Vinicius Júnior, returns to the field this Monday (25) . At Maracanã, Rubro-Negro faces Vitória, at 9 pm (Brasília time), in a duel valid for the 21st round of the Brazilian Championship.

Palmeiras has taken an important step toward finalizing the signing of midfielder Andreas Pereira, currently at Fulham in England. The deal is expected to be finalized in the coming days , provided the final details of the negotiations are finalized.
The deal between the São Paulo club and the player is practically finalized, maintaining the conditions discussed at the beginning of the season. At the time, Andreas opted to remain in Europe, but the situation has changed. Fulham signaled that they do not intend to count on the Brazilian after refusing to renew his contract , which runs until mid-2026. As a sign of this change, the player was left out of the squad for the match against Manchester United in the English Championship.
The biggest obstacle at the moment is the payment method. The parties are discussing installment terms and variable amounts. According to information from GE, the negotiation is worth around 10 million euros (approximately R$63.5 million) , including fixed installments and bonuses for milestones.
Earlier this year, Palmeiras offered around €20 million (R$127 million), a figure that was rejected at the time. Internally, the São Paulo club is cautious, as previous negotiations have failed. This time, however, the Fulham player's departure seems more likely.
It is worth remembering that Andreas Pereira has a stint at Flamengo, where he played in 2021 and 2022. The athlete, in fact, was directly responsible for a notable error in the game between Mengão and Pameiras, in the Libertadores final in 2021, where the midfielder slipped and 'gave away' the title goal to Alviverde.

Having enjoyed a strong season, Flamengo remains firmly in contention for the major titles of 2025: the Brazilian Championship, in which it is currently leading, and the Copa Libertadores, in which it has already qualified for the quarterfinals . After the victory over Internacional, which secured a spot in the continental competition, former player and current presenter Neto was full of praise for the Flamengo squad and was emphatic in his projections for the team's future.
Neto on Flamengo's current form: "It's almost impossible for anyone to beat Flamengo"
"What Arrascaeta, Léo Ortiz, Léo Pereira, what Gonzalo Plata played... Flamengo is a team that's unmatched in Brazilian football. And then there's Everton Cebolinha, Pedro, Luiz Araújo... it's absurd ," Neto said during the program Os Donos da Bola.
The commentator also emphasized that, in his view, Flamengo is the clear favorite both nationally and on the continent: "From what I understand about football, it's unlikely they won't win the Libertadores and the Brasileirão . They'll swim in the Libertadores and will be in the final. They're far ahead of the other 19 teams in Serie A. It's incredible; it's almost impossible for anyone to beat Flamengo," he concluded.
In the Brasileirão, Flamengo has 43 points, with one game less than second-placed Cruzeiro, and takes to the field this Monday (25) against Vitória. In the Libertadores, Filipe Luís' team faces Estudiantes (ARG) in the quarterfinals.
Looking to stay at the top of the Brazilian Championship table, Flamengo returns to the field this Monday (25) . At Maracanã, the team faces Vitória, at 9 pm (Brasília time), in a duel valid for the 21st round.
