Santos has not been defeated by Flamengo at Vila Belmiro in more than nine years. And the last time was historic.
How can we forget the duel that put Neymar and Ronaldinho Gaúcho face to face, in a match full of disappointments, emotion and goals? From that 5 to 4 in 2011 (remember the best moments in the video above), Santos and Flamengo met in Vila five more times, with three wins for Peixe and two draws.
This Sunday, at 4:00 p.m. (Brasilia time), the teams will meet at the stadium in a duel valid for the sixth day of the Brazilian Championship. Both the team led by Cuca and Domènec Torrent have had an irregular performance and have been oscillating in the competition. In the first five games, Santos earned seven points and Flamengo scored just five.
Globo shows Santos x Flamengo to all of Brazil (except RS, MG and PE), with narration by Cleber Machado and comments by Casagrande and Júnior. HE give follow in real time, with exclusive videos of goals and movements, and broadcast the post-game live.

The protagonists of that memorable game live today very different realities. Neymar helped lead Paris Saint-Germain to the final of the Champions League (Bayern Munich won) and is expected to be voted the best player in the world. Ronaldinho, for his part, lived through some of the worst moments of his life: he was imprisoned for 171 days in Paraguay until he was released to, along with his brother, return to Brazil.
Of the 22 players who started that game, ten are retired and others are now defending smaller clubs. See the table where each one is:
