Flamengo’s Number 10 Reaches 100 Assists with the Sacred Mantle and Further Cements His Place Among the Greatest in History

Arrascaeta shone in Flamengo’s 3-1 victory over Internacional this Sunday (17th) in Porto Alegre, in the Brazilian Championship. With two decisive passes, the Uruguayan midfielder directly contributed to the result. In addition, he closed the gap to Adílio in the ranking of players with the most assists in the club’s history.

With 100 assists, Arrascaeta now holds the position of fourth greatest assist provider in Flamengo’s history. By providing three more assists, the Uruguayan midfielder will surpass idol Adílio and enter the top three of the ranking, trailing only two other eternal club legends: Júnior and Zico.

Wearing Zico’s legendary number 10 shirt, Arrascaeta has established himself as one of the greatest names in Brazilian football—according to many, the greatest foreigner ever to play in the country.

The two assists recorded in the victory over Internacional not only secured his 100th assist with the Flamengo shirt since 2019, but also put Arrascaeta at the top of the all-time ranking in the Brasileirão. That’s because the midfielder is now tied with Marcelinho Carioca as the player with the most assists (77) in the history of Brazil’s main competition.
