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.

Flamengo recently received an official offer from RB Leipzig of Germany for defender Léo Ortiz , a standout player on Filipe Luís's squad. The offer was around €15 million (approximately R$95.6 million), with €12 million fixed and €3 million tied to targets. However, Flamengo promptly rejected the offer, maintaining its policy of not releasing key players at this stage of the season.
In addition to Leipzig, Sporting from Portugal has also entered the fray. According to Portuguese broadcaster SIC Notícias, the club is considering making a similar offer: €15 million, plus bonuses for targets achieved.
Despite the move, sources close to the club's board of directors assure that the defender is not for sale. People close to the player also state that he himself has no desire to leave the club at this time.
Flamengo 's board considers Léo Ortiz essential to the team's success in national and international competitions. Signed in March 2024 for €7 million, the defender has made 74 appearances for Flamengo, scoring six goals and providing four assists. His performance has been crucial in campaigns such as the Brazilian Championship, where the club leads with defensive solidity.
Ortiz's release clause is another factor that reinforces Flamengo's firm position. Valued at €80 million (approximately R$514 million) , the amount is far above the offers received so far for the player, who is important to Filipe Luís.

Corinthians is keeping tabs on 31-year-old striker Vitinho, who is a free agent after terminating his contract with Saudi Arabia's Al-Ettifaq . The information was released by journalist Luis Fabiani. Having not played since May, the player is evaluating his next career steps .
Vitinho rose to prominence in Brazilian football during his time at Flamengo , between 2018 and 2022, a period in which he played more than 200 games and won important titles : Libertadores (2019), Brasileiros (2019 and 2020), as well as two Supercopas do Brasil. Despite criticism from part of the fans, he was a useful piece at different times for the Rio de Janeiro club.
After leaving Rubro-Negro, the striker played for three seasons in Saudi Arabia, but without the same brilliance. His underwhelming performance led to the early termination of his contract . Now, as a free agent, Vitinho can sign with any club without any transfer fees.
Corinthians' interest stems from a search for specific reinforcements for the final stretch of the season. The striker's experience and versatility in the attacking sector are seen as potential differentiators for the black and white squad. There's no official offer yet, but talks are expected to evolve in the coming days.
