— This is very special for me, 100 matches wearing the jersey of one of the biggest clubs in the world and the biggest in the Americas. Very special, almost unbelievable, I was talking to my family about it, it’s incredible what I’m experiencing — he said, before concluding:

— Not just because of the 100 matches, but everything that has happened: all the games, titles. It’s been a short time, but it’s been special and I hope to achieve much more wearing the Flamengo jersey — Léo Ortiz concluded.

What are Léo Ortiz’s stats at Flamengo?

Flamengo announced the signing of Léo Ortiz in March 2024. At the time, the red-black board paid 7 million euros (R$ 37.6 million at the time) to Red Bull Bragantino. Not by chance, the defender is the third most expensive center-back in Mengão’s history.

In 100 matches played, Léo Ortiz has scored six goals and provided four assists. In addition, wearing the Flamengo jersey, the defender has won a Libertadores, a Brasileirão, a Copa do Brasil, a Supercopa do Brasil, and a Carioca.

What is Flamengo’s next match?

With Léo Ortiz available, Flamengo returns to the field this Saturday (07) to face Sampaio Corrêa, for the sixth round of the Campeonato Carioca. Thus, the ball will roll at 9:00 p.m. (Brasília time), at Maracanã. It’s worth noting that Rubro-Negro is in a delicate situation in the State Championship.

As tradition dictates, Coluna do Fla will bring all the details about the match between Flamengo and Sampaio Corrêa, through YouTube, the website, and social media. However, SporTV (cable channel) and Premiere (pay-per-view) will broadcast the Carioca match.
