European newspaper 'melts' after Samuel Lino's debut for Flamengo: "Would have scored a goal"

Flamengo was defeated by Atlético-MG 1-0 on Thursday (31), in the first leg of the Copa do Brasil quarterfinals. Despite the negative result, the red-black fans were thrilled with the debut of the new reinforcements: Samuel Lino, Saúl Ñíguez, and Emerson Royal. The striker, in particular, was the target of praise from the Spanish newspaper 'Diario AS'.

"At 55 minutes, in the face of the home team's stumble, Filipe did not hesitate to make a triple substitution, including Lino's debut. The former Atlético de Madrid (ESP) player was lined up as a left winger, but with the freedom to appear in other areas of the attack. He showed himself to be intense, with a desire to participate and bold in the final moments. He would have scored a goal if it weren't for Everson's defense at 85 minutes," he said, before concluding:

"To complete, Saúl entered the field at 78 minutes to try to tie the game. Atlético-MG defended with enormous confidence, and the 0-1 score remained unchanged. This despite the suspense at 95 minutes, when Lino scored, but the goal was disallowed for offside," concluded the Spanish newspaper.

Flamengo's debt falls by almost R$ 200 million in the first 6 months of 2025; understand

Flamengo released, on Thursday (31), the financial report for the second quarter of 2025. The main highlight of the document is the sharp decline in net operating debt (EOL), which fell by R$ 199.2 million compared to the end of 2024.

The Flamengo board uses EOL as the main way to measure the day-to-day debt. To do this, the club sums up what it needs to pay to suppliers, employees, government, and other teams, and then subtracts what it has in cash and what it will still receive. Based on this calculation, on June 30, 2025, the EOL was R$ 128.2 million. Already at the end of 2024, the value was much higher: R$ 327.4 million.
