Another year is ending many different things, but one factor continues: Palmeiras and Flamengo remain among the most prominent teams of the season. Since 2013, both Verdão and Mengão have dominated Brazilian football, accumulating victories, titles and incredible campaigns. However, which of these has done better in the last decade?
Four of the last five editions of the Copa Libertadores da América were won by either Palmeiras (2020 and 2021), or Flamengo (2019 and 2022). Before that, Mais Querido's first victory had been in 1981, while Alviverde had already lifted the cup before in 1999. The two will be in next year's competition as three-time champions.
In the Brasileirão, the São Paulo team managed to win in 2016, 2018, 2022 and this year! Even though the competition has not ended, and Alviverde has not managed to accumulate 72 points over the 37 rounds it has already played, it is practically impossible for any team to pass it, as it has a considerably higher goal difference and is three points ahead. from all your rivals. Flamengo, on the other hand, won not four, but two Brazilians. Both awards took place two years apart, in 2019 and 2020.
In the Copa do Brasil 'category', the two teams are tied, each with two titles. The São Paulo native won them in 2015 and 2020, while the Rio de Janeiro native won them in 2013 and 2022. Something similar happens in the Recopa Sul-Americana, where each won just one: Flamengo in 2020 and Palmeiras in 2022.
Palmeiras' only title in a Brazilian Super Cup was won this year (2023), exactly against Flamengo. Mais Querido, on the other hand, won the 2020 and 2021 editions, and won the most recent one from Palmeiras. Mengão also competed in the 2022 Super Cup, completing four consecutive years of trying for the prize.
In this way, excluding the State Championships, Palmeiras would be ahead with 10 titles, while Flamengo has accumulated nine national and international titles over ten years. However, what gives Fla the 'victory' is exactly the number of times it lifted the Rio de Janeiro trophy. In ten years, Mais Querido won five Carioca Championships (2014, 2017, 2019, 2020 and 2021), while Verdão only three (2020, 2022 and 2023).
In short, there are 13 titles for the São Paulo side and 14 for the Rio side. Together, the two teams have won 27 awards in the last decade. No other team has managed to come close to this feat recently.
