Brazilians book their place in the Libertadores, are there spots left? 🧐

Fluminense made history this Thursday (27th) by defeating São Paulo 6-0 at Maracanã in the 36th round of the Brasileirão.

The final score represents the biggest victory of the Carioca Tricolor over the Paulista rival and also the longest winning streak for Flu in the history of the national championship.

With this result, Fluminense reached 58 points and climbed to fifth place in the standings.

São Paulo remained in eighth place with 48 points.

Thus, with two rounds remaining in the championship, the Paulista Tricolor can no longer catch up with their Carioca counterpart, as well as Botafogo (58 points) and Bahia (56 points).

Thus, Fluminense and Bahia join Botafogo, Mirassol, Cruzeiro, Palmeiras, and Flamengo as the Brazilian representatives in the 2026 Copa Conmebol Libertadores.

🤨 What is still at stake?

The 2026 Conmebol Libertadores already has seven Brazilian clubs guaranteed. They are: Flamengo, Palmeiras, Cruzeiro, Mirassol, Fluminense, Botafogo, and Bahia.

The top three on the list are already in the group stage, meaning two more will go to this stage and two others will go to the qualifying rounds.

However, one more Brazilian club can qualify for the 2026 Libertadores via the Brasileirão. For this to happen, we need to turn our attention to the Copa do Brasil.

Thus, if one of the G-7 clubs wins the national tournament, it would open a spot for the Libertadores for the club that finishes eighth in the Brasileirão.

Currently, Cruzeiro (facing Corinthians) and Fluminense (facing Vasco) are the "possible candidates" to turn the G-7 into G-8.
