Corinthians vs Palmeiras Report
Corinthians lifted the Brazilian championship for the fifth time after fighting out a tense goalless draw with crosstown rivals Palmeiras on Sunday.
Brazilian giants Corinthians won their fifth Brazilian championship after fighting out a goalless draw with crosstown rivals Palmeiras at the Pacaembu stadium in Sao Paulo on Sunday. The title came on the same day as the death of Corinthians and Brazil soccer idol Socrates. Needing only a single point to guarantee themselves of the title on the final match day of the season, Corinthians did just this in a fiery derby that saw four men sent-off. Corinthians finished the season with 71 points from 38 matches, two points clear of closest rivals Vasco da Gama, who were held by Flamengo.
The match was played at a frantic pace, with Palmeiras coming closest to earning the three points when a Fernandao header struck the crossbar in the 71st minute. It was a typical derby, but its importance multiplied, as while Corinthians needed just a point to clinch the title, Palmeiras did their utmost to ruin their party.

Flamengo Officially Sign Ronaldinho – Transfer Saga Finally Ends!
Its’ all over! Flamengo have captured Ronaldinho and his €3M transfer from AC Milan was made official at 23:15 local time on Monday. Hard luck to Gremio (Ronaldinho’s childhood heroes), Corinthians and Palmeiras!
Flamengo Complete Transfer Of Ronaldinho
Ronaldinho’s contract at Flamengo is said to be a three-and-a-half year deal through which he will be receiving €130,000 per week. Reports say that Traffic and Olympikus (who are both investors) will be responsible for paying a part of the 30-year-old’s salary.
Last weekend, actually, AC Milan vice-president Adriano Galliani gave followers of the Ronaldinho transfer saga a clue concerning which of the 4 clubs in contention would most likely land the midfielder. At first, Gremio seemed to be winning the race but later on Flamengo always looked as the favourites to sign the former Ballon d'Or winner. In a short statement while talking to TV Globo, Galliani declared:
“I believe [that Ronaldinho] is 99.99% sure of joining Flamengo.”
Ronaldinho Transfer Saga: Play At Gremio For Free If You Love Them, Says Pele
The Ronaldinho transfer saga has been impacted by the player’s indecision over which club he must join. Gremio, Palmeiras, Corinthians or Flamengo? Ronaldinho remains hesitant at the disgust of living legend Pele.
“If he really loves Gremio, he should play there for free!” Pele told Globoesporte as he discussed about Ronaldinho’s transfer stories. “He is set up for life already, right? That’s my opinion. I played a whole season [at Santos] for nothing,” the Brazilian superstar continued as he cited his 1974 season as an example.
“Santos were in financial ruins, and I gave them my salary to help the club.”
Pele is apparently extremely opposed to the current situation involving the ex-Barcelona play maker. Gremio are actually known to be the player’s boyhood idols as he is from Porto Alegre.
