Flamengo has solidified a historic milestone by achieving 900 victories this century, in addition to leading important defensive statistics in the Brazilian Serie A’s current points format era.
Flamengo is currently enjoying a period of impressive numbers that reinforce its prominence in national football. With a 2-0 victory over Vitória, achieved last Sunday (09) at the Maracanã, during the 22nd round of the Brazilian Championship, the Rio de Janeiro club reached the historic milestone of 900 positive results since the beginning of the 21st century, becoming the first Brazilian team to achieve this feat within the period.
This achievement, validated by data from R10 Score, places the Rubro-Negro ahead of its main rivals. While Flamengo boasts 900 victories, Palmeiras occupies second place in the ranking for this time period, with 891 triumphs, followed by São Paulo, Grêmio, and Internacional.
Defensive Records and Solidity
In addition to its victorious longevity, Mais Querido also stood out for a robust defensive record. The club has achieved 301 clean sheets in the Brazilian Serie A’s current points format era, matching São Paulo and surpassing Corinthians at the top of this statistic since 2003.
In the current edition of the championship, under the command of Leonardo Jardim, the team demonstrates balance. With only 18 goals conceded, Fla holds the second-best defense in the competition, trailing only Palmeiras, who have conceded 16 times.
Individual Standouts in 2026
The collective performance is driven by players having an inspired year. Bruno Henrique, who scored one of the goals against Vitória, reached 15 direct goal contributions this season. The Rubro-Negro is currently the only Brazilian team with three players accumulating 15 or more contributions, alongside Pedro (27) and Samuel Lino (17).
Regarding the tactical scenario and individual performances, the M360 Team analyzed the team’s recent dynamic:
Interestingly, Lino went scoreless in the game where he returned to his original left-wing position. The irony is that Bruno Henrique scored again while playing in Pedro’s spot, a position where the No. 27 had requested not to play anymore.
Flamengo continues its journey in the Brazilian Serie A, maintaining the second-best attack in the competition, with 37 goals scored. With the consistency shown, the Rubro-Negro reaffirms its strength on the national stage and prepares for the decisive challenges that the rest of the 2026 calendar holds for Leonardo Jardim’s squad.
