Arrascaeta leads foreign scorers in Brasileirão points era, ranking

In addition to being the top scorer in the Brasileirão, Arrascaeta is chasing a milestone with the Sacred Mantle

Although a midfielder, Arrascaeta has striker-like numbers. That’s because the Uruguayan has increasingly set himself apart as the top foreign scorer in the Brazilian Championship in the points-based era.

After all, the Rubro-Negro idol has scored 72 goals since he started playing in the competition. The difference between the Flamengo midfielder and the runner-up, Germán Cano of Fluminense, is 13 goals. The data comes from the Transfermarkt website.

What other highlight does Arrascaeta have?

The number 10 is getting closer to becoming the highest-scoring foreigner in the history of Flamengo. That’s because Arrascaeta has 91 goals with the Sacred Mantle, just three fewer than the Argentine Doval.
