Is it karma? Gustavo Scarpa yet to beat Flamengo since snubbing their offer | OneFootball

Scarpa takes the field against Flamengo this Thursday (31) for the Brazil Cup

Flamengo and Atlético-MG face off this Thursday (31) in a match valid for the first leg of the round of 16 of the Brazil Cup. Therefore, the match is another chance for the team from Rio to beat Gustavo Scarpa's opponent, an athlete who hasn't won against the Most Beloved since he declined the club's proposal.

The year was 2023 and Scarpa was at Nottingham Forest (ENG) when Atlético-MG and Flamengo fought to bring him back to Brazil. However, the midfielder declined the red-black proposal and chose to accept the offer of R$ 27 million to play for the team from Minas Gerais starting in 2024. Since then, Scarpa has lost four games and drawn one against the Red-Black. See the matches:
