With this, the Rubro-Negro reached its eighth title in the main national club football competition, being the fourth in the era of the points system (since 2003).
Flamengo’s victorious history in the Brasileirão began in 1980, with the unforgettable generation of Zico, Júnior & Co., and continued with back-to-back wins in 1982 and 1983.
The fourth Brasileirão title came in 1992 and, after a long drought, the long-awaited fifth title arrived in 2009.
Finally, after the financial restructuring that began in the early 2010s, Flamengo returned to its winning ways with financial power, becoming champions in 2019 and 2020.
*The Supreme Federal Court determined that Sport Recife, winner of the Yellow Module, should be recognized as the sole Brazilian champion of 1987. Flamengo, however, maintains that it is the champion of that year and continues to consider itself the winner of that edition of the national competition.
