Flamengo traveled to São Paulo in the arms of its fans. Their support and complicity were essential fuel for the crucial match against Palmeiras. The Flamengo spirit united the nation, board of directors, coaching staff, athletes, and staff, and we will see it through to the end.
The experience was unforgettable. Thousands lined the streets of Rio de Janeiro from early Tuesday morning, followed by the vast crowd at Santos Dumont. Upon arrival, a massive presence at Congonhas Airport.
On the field, Flamengo fought until the end against a top-tier opponent, overcame refereeing errors, and earned an important point in the title race. Off the field, the nation once again rallied to embrace the team.
The red-and-black delegation wanted to disembark normally this Thursday. To embrace their fans, to return all the affection they received, to relive this unforgettable experience once again. By order of Infraero and the Military Police, our contact was more distant. But that didn't make it any less intense.
Thank you, Red-Black Nation. For your demonstration of love, complicity, and encouragement. We will continue together, until the end. We are all, except a few.
Come on, Flamengo!
