Palmeiras and Flamengo faced each other in the 2025 Libertadores final, at the Estádio Monumental de Lima, in Peru, and the Rubro-Negro won 1-0 to become the only Brazilian four-time champion in the tournament's history. Before that, the last time these two Brazilian powers met in an elimination game was in 2024, in the round of 16 of the Copa do Brasil. On that occasion, Flamengo took the best by winning 2-1 on aggregate and advancing in the tournament, to later become champion. In recent years, Flamengo and Palmeiras have been great forces not only in national football but also throughout the continent. In total, there are eight elimination matches or finals between the two clubs in history. Therefore, the Palmeiras coach needs to find a strategy to overcome Flamengo in the next matches.

Already in the 2021 Supercopa do Brasil, the Rubro-Negro passed Palmeiras by winning the penalty shootout 6-5, after a 2-2 draw in regular time. In 2021, Palmeiras beat Flamengo 2-1 in the Libertadores final, with goals from Raphael Veiga and Deyverson. But Flamengo recovered and beat Palmeiras 1-0 in the 2025 Libertadores final, with a goal from Danilo. So, what does Palmeiras need to do to change the course of history and beat Flamengo in the next matches? But, to do this, it is necessary to analyze the mistakes of the past and find a new strategy. In short, Palmeiras needs to strengthen and find a way to overcome Flamengo in the next matches.
