Flamengo pay tribute to Arrascaeta after historic Brasileirão record

Arrascaeta becomes the greatest 'waiter' in Brasileirão history

Number 10 of the Mengão, Arrascaeta is one of the main idols of the recent generation of Flamengo. Last Monday (25), the Uruguayan achieved a historic feat in the Brasileirão by becoming the player with the most assists in the championship's history, with 79. Thus, the Most Beloved paid tribute to the midfielder this Friday (29).

At the CT Ninho do Urubu, Flamengo presented Arrascaeta with two awards. First, the Most Beloved gave a 'wizard's wand' to the Uruguayan, as the number 10 reached 100 assists with the Sacred Mantle. In addition, Mengão prepared a trophy for the player in celebration of the historic mark of the greatest 'waiter' of the Brasileirão.

What did Arrascaeta say?

During the tribute, Arrascaeta took the opportunity and once again declared his love for Flamengo. Wearing the Sacred Mantle for seven years, the number 10 continues as one of the main names of the Most Beloved on the field, in addition to wearing the captain's armband of Filipe Luís's team.

I am very happy, very happy to be here. As I always say, it's a privilege and an honor for me to be able to represent on the field a fan base as big as Flamengo's. These achievements here are not only a pride for me, but also for my entire family, all my friends, and my city. Since I was a child, I chased after things, I simply had nothing. I came to Brazil, made my story, achieved everything I achieved. But, as I always say, until I finish my career here in Brazil, I will not settle, I will continue in search of new achievements. As I said, for me it is a great pride to be linked to such a big brand in a football as important as Brazilian is in the world. This here is an extra motivation to continue helping the team and my teammates - said Arrascaeta.

How is Arrascaeta doing in the 2025 season?

Arrascaeta is one of the highlights of Flamengo in the 2025 season. At this moment, the number 10 is the top scorer of Mengão, with 16 balls in the net, and team's leader in assists, with 13 passes for goal. In addition, under the command of Filipe Luís, the Uruguayan has been getting closer to the opponents' area, posing more danger on the field.

What is Flamengo's next match?

With Arrascaeta available, Flamengo returns to the field on Sunday (31) to face Grêmio, for the 22nd round of the Brasileirão. Furthermore, the match takes place at 4 pm (Brasília time), at Maracanã. Thus, as tradition dictates, the Coluna do Fla will bring the best coverage on the internet, through YouTube, the website and social networks.
