Flamengo and São Paulo stand out on the Brazilian football scene as the clubs with the most finals played in national and international competitions.< /b> With an impressive 36 finals, the Flamengo occupies the top of this historical ranking, followed closely by São Paulo, which has accumulated 33 decisions. These numbers highlight the protagonism of both clubs in national football and their ability to compete at a high level over the years, consolidating their marks in the history of the sport.


Flamengo, in particular, stands out with a significant performance in decisions, with 22 finals in national competitions and 14 in international tournaments. The red-and-black club achieved 19 titles throughout these disputes, which corresponds to a success rate of 54.28%. However, it also has 16 runners-up finishes, which reinforces the team's competitiveness and consistency over the decades. Even when they don't lift the cup, Flamengo remains among the best, with a history of great campaigns.< /b>


FLAMENGO HAS HAD A MOMENT OF PERFORMANCE IN THE LAST YEARS 


São Paulo, in turn, has also established itself as one of the giants of Brazilian football. Although it is behind the Flamengo in total number of finals, the difference of just three decisions shows how dominant the São Paulo tricolor was also in several competitions. With a legacy of glory and a passionate fan base, São Paulo always seeks to achieve new titles, remaining among the main clubs in the country and South America.

 FLAMENGO HAS NEW MODEL 


Flamengo's success, especially in recent years, is also reflected in the club's structure, which relies on great coaches and more professional management. A recent example of this evolution was the investment in former player Filipe Luís as coach. After a successful career as a left-back, Filipe Luís took charge of the team with a vision modern and dynamic, the result of his experience as an athlete in internationally renowned clubs, such as Atlético de Madrid and Chelsea. Under his leadership, Flamengo seeks to maintain national hegemony and increase the number of international titles.

Renan Lodi 's future has once again become a topic of discussion in Brazilian football following his tumultuous departure from Saudi Arabia's Al-Hilal. The 27-year-old full-back unilaterally terminated his contract , claiming he had been barred from playing in the Saudi Arabian Championship. In response, the club announced it intends to take legal action against the player.


Lodi, a free agent, was quickly linked to Brazilian clubs, but Flamengo has no intention of entering the fray. The board believes the squad is already well-stocked at left-back and there's no need for reinforcements at this time.


Coach Filipe Luís currently has Ayrton Lucas as a solid starter and Matías Viña as an immediate alternative. Additionally, Alex Sandro is in the final stages of recovery and should expand the coach's options soon. The arrival of another full-back could create a surplus of players in Flamengo 's defense.


FINANCIAL ISSUE

Another factor that influenced the decision not to move forward with negotiations was the financial aspect. Renan Lodi has a history of high salaries since his time at Atlético de Madrid , Nottingham Forest, and Al-Hilal. Investing in a player with this profile is seen by the board as unnecessary in the club's current situation.


LODI OPENS UP ABOUT EXIT

Meanwhile, Renan Lodi publicly defends his decision to leave Al-Hilal. In a letter posted on social media, the full-back stated that he could not be prevented from practicing his profession and that he tried, unsuccessfully, to resolve the situation amicably with the Arab club.
