Remember is living
In the 2009 Brasileirão, the first duel between Flamengo and Palmeiras ended in a 2-1 victory for the Alviverde team at the Maracanã. But in the return leg, it was the Rubro-Negro who won away from home and with great style. The three points—earned eight rounds before their sixth championship—came thanks to two stunning goals from Petkovic: one a goal in a row and the other an Olympic-quality goal. Remember:
