Experienced defender Danilo brought the victory to the team from Rio with a goal in the 67th minute, thus writing his name in the historical journals of world football, becoming the first player to win the Champions League and the Copa Libertadores twice.
With Real, he climbed to the roof of Europe twice, while he climbed to the football pedestal in Latin America first with Santos in 2011 and now with the giant from Rio.
This is Flamengo’s third Copa Libertadores title in the last seven years and the third since the format of the final was changed, so that only one game is played for the trophy.

From 2019, when Flamengo won the first title since 1981, until today, Brazilian clubs have won all seven “Copa” trophies, of which Palmeiras two and Botafogo one.
The grand final was played at the Monumental stadium in Lima, where it was like a beehive, as evidenced by the fact that the match was delayed 15 minutes due to a traffic breakdown.
When the ball started from the center, duels and energy burst from both sides.
Along with Danilo, the most deserving of Flamengo’s victory was the Uruguayan Giorgian de Arrascaeta, whose corner was “half a goal”, he perfectly placed the ball in front of the goal where Danilo was the most resourceful and the best in the jump, and scored probably the most important goal of his career.

And some more interesting things…
Flamengo coach Filipe Luís is the ninth coach to win the most important club trophy in South America as a player.
The former Atletico Madrid player was part of the team that beat Athletico Paranaense 1:0 in 2022.
For the Brazilians, perhaps the most important fact is that they have finally reached Argentina in terms of the number of Copa Libertadores trophies won – both of them have won 25 of them in total. Considering the hegemony established by Brazilian clubs in the last decade, it seems that it is only a matter of time before they take over the leadership position on this list, reports B92.
