About Flamengo
This free Flamengo quiz covers it properly: the Libertadores final in Lima, two goals in the last three minutes to beat River Plate, and the Brasileirão won the same weekend with a record points total.
It reaches back too — to Zico, and to the 1981 double that took Flamengo past Cobreloa and then past Liverpool in Tokyo for the Intercontinental Cup.
One thing we deliberately do not ask: how many Brasileirão titles Flamengo have won. That count is genuinely disputed because of the 1987 Copa União, and different reputable sources give different answers. A quiz should not pick a side in an argument the sport hasn't settled.
Every answer is explained, it's free, and there's nothing to install.
