Brazilians qualify for Libertadores, are spots still open? ????

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

The final score represents the biggest victory of the Tricolor Carioca over the São Paulo 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 until the end of the championship, the Tricolor Paulista can no longer catch up with their Carioca counterpart, as well as Botafogo (58 points) and Bahia (56 points).

???? What's still at stake?

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

The first three on the list are already in the group stage, meaning two more will go to this phase and another two will go to the qualifying stages.

However, one more Brazilian club can qualify for the Libertadores 2026 via 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.
