In voting, Vinicius obtained an impressive 41.3% of the votes, which represents almost triple the percentage achieved by second place, Rodri, who got 13.5%. Young midfielder Jude Bellingham, who also had a standout season for Real Madrid, finished the poll in third place, with 10.3% of the votes.

The attacker was reported by the Superior Court of Justice (STJD) and the case analysis has been given a date, although there is no forecast for the actual trial.

Flamengo striker Bruno Henrique will be tried at the Superior Court of Sports Justice (STJD) on charges of forcing a yellow card to benefit bettors during the match against Santos, in the 2023 Brazilian Championship . The trial is scheduled to take place in early September.
Although there is no official date yet, the case was forwarded to the 1st Disciplinary Committee of the STJD, whose next session takes place on August 18. However, due to the large volume of cases on the agenda, Bruno Henrique's trial was postponed to the next session, scheduled for September 1 (Monday), according to information from the newspaper O Globo.
With this, the player is cleared to play in the two matches against Internacional , valid for the round of 16 of the Copa Libertadores, on August 13th and 20th . Starting in September, however, the athlete may become a significant absence, depending on the outcome of the case. The complaint is still under review, and the athlete will have the right to a full defense before any trial.
The STJD Prosecutor's Office framed the player under two articles of the Brazilian Code of Sports Justice (CBJD):
Flamengo's Bruno Henrique defended: "He was punished with a card in a play in which, obviously, there wasn't even a foul"
" Bruno Henrique was booked for a play in which, obviously, there wasn't even a foul. The claim that receiving a card for this play—in which there wasn't even a foul—was intended to influence the outcome of the match or the championship is absurd . The Superior Court of Justice (STJD) itself had previously dismissed a case based on the same allegations. The player's defense will demonstrate that this new complaint should also be dismissed," the player's representatives told the Coluna do Fla website.

Atlético-MG advanced to the quarterfinals of the Copa do Brasil by beating Flamengo on penalties 4-3, after a draw in normal time, this Wednesday (06), at Arena MRV. With the classification, Galo de Cuca remains alive in the tournament , while Mais Querido says goodbye to the competition early.
After the match, coach Cuca showed respect for his opponent and, in a press conference, praised Filipe Luís 's work at the helm of the Rio de Janeiro club. The Atlético coach didn't mince words when highlighting the former full-back's talent as a coach:
Cuca praises Flamengo's Filipe Luís: "He's the greatest promise of Brazilian football"
"It's very difficult to play against Flamengo. They have a very well-defined game plan. Flamengo now has a young coach who, without a doubt, is the greatest promise we have in Brazilian football," said Cuca.
The Atlético-MG manager then added: "If the guys are calm and patient with him, we know that the path for him will be the Brazilian national team, because he is studious, he prepares himself, he is increasingly wanting to improve and he brings a lot of difficulties for us. We left today very happy to have been able to beat such a strong opponent ," he concluded.
With elimination from the Copa do Brasil, Flamengo turns its attention to the Campeonato Brasileiro and Copa Libertadores, where it is still seeking titles this season. In the Brasileirão, the team leads with 37 points , demonstrating consistency under Filipe Luís, despite the recent setback.
Mengão was eliminated from the Copa do Brasil by Atlético-MG in penalty kicks and is relegated again due to a lack of efficiency at the penalty spot.

The red-black fans said goodbye to the Copa do Brasil last Wednesday (06), despite the 1-0 victory over Atlético-MG in normal time . The result tied the match on aggregate, but the elimination came in the penalty shootout, once again unfavorable to Flamengo - something that has been repeated frequently in recent years.
Since the historic 2019 season, the club has played ten penalty shootouts, accumulating six losses and only four wins. The last time Flamengo prevailed was in the 2022 Copa do Brasil final , when they defeated Corinthians at the Maracanã stadium under Dorival Júnior.
Outside of the Copa do Brasil, Flamengo now turns its attention to its two main objectives of the year: the Campeonato Brasileiro and the Copa Libertadores . Flamengo currently leads the Brasileirão with 37 points and a game in hand over the second-place team. In the Libertadores, Filipe Luís's team will face Internacional in the round of 16, seeking a spot among the top eight in the Americas.
Flamengo's next match will be this Saturday (09), at 6:30 pm (Brasília time) , against Mirassol, at Maracanã, for the 19th round of the Brasileirão. The match is decisive to maintain the leadership of the competition before the start of the second round.
