Palmeiras crushed Flamengo 3-0 this Saturday (23) at the Maracanã, in a match valid for the 17th round of the 2026 Brasileirão.
The match had “many layers,” as Shrek would say to Donkey in the classic from 25 years ago.

For example, the “points-based final” also had the added spice of being the teams’ first meeting since the 2025 Libertadores final last November.
So much so that the Rubro-Negro fans taunted them with “First Tetr4” before the ball even started rolling.
However, Carrascal’s sending-off in the 20th minute of the first half made everything much easier for Verdão.
Striker Vitor Roque even posted the meme “Oh Carrascal, that’s Undaia talk” on social media.
Rossi’s mistakes and Paulinho’s celebration, which sparked a huge commotion at the end of the match, also got social media buzzing.
