The world of football thrives on rivalries — the matchups that make fans’ hearts race and stadiums tremble. From El Clásico (Real Madrid vs Barcelona) to PSG vs Marseille, Manchester United vs Liverpool, Inter vs Milan, Celtic vs Rangers, Al Ahly vs Zamalek, Galatasaray vs Fenerbahçe, and Chivas vs América, every corner of the globe has its sacred showdowns.

But South America? That’s a different level of passion. Down here, the rivalries burn hotter, the stakes feel higher, and the atmosphere? Absolutely electric.

The Rivalries That Define a Continent

Think Boca Juniors vs River Plate, Flamengo vs Fluminense, Nacional vs Peñarol, Palmeiras vs Corinthians, Atlético Nacional vs Millonarios. These aren’t just matches — they’re football earthquakes that shake entire nations.

And when one of those rivalries unfolds on the grandest stage of all — for continental glory, an Intercontinental Cup ticket, and $18 million in prize money — it becomes something far greater.
It becomes a Superclásico.

Welcome to the Final of the Copa Libertadores 2025.

Palmeiras vs Flamengo: The Superclásico Brasileiro

This year, the football gods deliver a showdown for the ages: Palmeiras vs Flamengo, Verdão vs Mengão — the Superclásico Brasileiro.
Two of South America’s biggest clubs. Two cities that embody Brazil — São Paulo and Rio de Janeiro. Two teams that have ruled the Copa Libertadores in recent years.

It’s history, pride, and philosophy colliding under the South American night.

Palmeiras arrive with depth, discipline, and a mastermind on the sidelines: Abel Ferreira, the longest-serving manager in Brazilian football. His team thrives on balance, defensive resilience, and an attack that strikes with surgical precision.

On the other side, Flamengo bring flair and fire. Led by Filipe Luís — the ex-Chelsea and Atlético Madrid full-back turned tactician — Mengão mix experience, creativity, and the bold energy of rising stars hungry for continental glory.

It’s structure versus style, order versus improvisation, green versus red-and-black — and behind it all, two of the loudest, most passionate fanbases on Earth.

A Rivalry Written in Fire and Glory

The last time these giants clashed for the title — Montevideo, 2021 — Palmeiras edged Flamengo 2–1 in an unforgettable thriller.
Across their 58 encounters, the record remains razor-tight: Flamengo 20 wins, Palmeiras 18, and 20 draws. Practically inseparable.

Now, they meet again — this time in Lima, with history, pride, and continental supremacy on the line.

Get ready for 90 minutes (or maybe more) of pure South American drama.

Because this isn’t just another final.
This is more than a Clásico.
This is a Superclásico.
