Legend! Arrascaeta nears historic milestone in Flamengo colours | OneFootball

Arrascaeta shook the nets against Ceará, last Sunday (03)

Flamengo's number 10, Flamengo, Arrascaeta 'touched' the hearts of fans last Sunday (03), in a game against Ceará. This is because the midfielder left the field at halftime with thigh pain. After exams did not indicate an injury, the Uruguayan remains at the disposal of Filipe Luís and is even close to reaching a historic mark for Mengo.

Flamengo agreed to the hiring of Arrascaeta in January 2019. Since then, the midfielder has already shaken the nets 87 times with the Sacred Mantle. Thus, the Uruguayan is seven goals away from becoming the greatest foreign scorer of Rubro-Negro. The first place in the ranking is occupied by Argentine Doval, with 94 goals.

Arrascaeta, in fact, is one of the highlights of Flamengo in the 2025 season. The midfielder is the top scorer of Mengão in the year, with 14 goals in 36 games, in addition to eight assists. Furthermore, the Uruguayan is the second player with the most goals in the Brazilian Championship, with ten goals, behind only Kaio Jorge, with 13.
