2019 or 2025? Filipe Luís names Arrascaeta’s top Flamengo spell | OneFootball

Arrascaeta is the top scorer and leader in assists for Flamengo in 2025

Wearing the number 10 jersey for Mengão, Arrascaeta is one of the main idols of the recent generation of Flamengo. Having worn the Sacred Mantle for seven years, the Uruguayan continues to post ‘absurd’ numbers for the Rubro-Negro. Coach Filipe Luís even compared the midfielder’s performance in 2019 and 2025, pointing out the current season as the player’s ‘peak’.

— It’s a question for him about what his best moment is. But from what I’ve seen, he is more lethal, more experienced, choosing better moments to run, running at the right time, saving energy, and being much more lethal and decisive than these numbers show -, he said, before concluding:

— In 2019, he played more on the wing, more open, coming inside and had an exceptional season, like everyone. But I feel he is enjoying himself a lot this year and with this energy-saving approach that greatly benefits his game and the team’s -, concluded Filipe Luís.

How is Arrascaeta performing in the 2025 season?

Arrascaeta is one of the highlights of Flamengo in the 2025 season. Currently, the number 10 is the top scorer for Mengão, with 16 goals, and the team’s leader in assists, with 13 goal passes. Moreover, under the command of Filipe Luís, the Uruguayan has been staying closer to the opponents' area, posing more threat on the field.
