Arrascaeta hits new historic milestone for Flamengo against Santos | OneFootball

What historic milestone did Arrascaeta reach with Flamengo?

Arrascaeta continues to make history at Flamengo! Starting in the win over Santos this Sunday (05), the Uruguayan reached 369 matches wearing the Sacred Jersey, matching Modesto Bría as the foreign player who has worn the red-and-black shirt the most. The milestone confirms the midfielder as one of the club’s greatest idols.

Bría starred for Flamengo between 1943 and 1953 and, decades later, returned as coach in the 1960s, 1970s, and 1980s. Now, De Arrascaeta further cements that legacy, strengthening his place among the foreign legends who left their mark on Rubro-Negro.

At Flamengo since 2019, the Uruguayan number 10 has 101 goals and 110 assists. During that span, Arrascaeta became the player with the most official titles in the history of the red-and-black club, alongside Bruno Henrique.

SURPASSING BRÍA?

The expectation is that Arrascaeta will surpass Modesto Bría soon. That’s because next Wednesday (08), Flamengo faces Cusco (PER), and the number 10 should be available for coach Leonardo Jardim.

The match, valid for Group A of the Copa Libertadores, kicks off at 9:30 p.m. (Brasília time) at Garcilaso de la Vega Stadium, in Peru. As usual, Coluna do Fla will be there, bringing all the details of the match.
