Flamengo arrives in Belo Horizonte, where they could win the Brazilian championship against Atlético-MG

Approximately 50 fans welcomed the delegation at the hotel in Belo Horizonte with high expectations for the title, shouting ‘we will be champions’. There were flares, chants, and a lot of excitement with the arrival of the athletes. Jorginho, Saúl, Danilo, Luiz Araújo, and Léo Pereira stopped to interact with the fans, taking photos and signing autographs. The first spent a long time attending to the supporters. The only athletes who did not make the trip were those recovering from injuries: Pedro, Allan, and Léo Ortiz. Viña was also not included. The defender is being prepared to be available for Lima. De la Cruz, who usually doesn’t play on synthetic turf, is also on the list. Flamengo could win the Brazilian championship in this round. For that to happen, the Rio de Janeiro team needs to beat Atlético-MG, and Palmeiras needs to lose to Grêmio. This way, Flamengo would open a seven-point advantage, with only six points remaining to be disputed in the final two rounds.
