Memphis lands a double-double for Corinthians, joins elite Brasileirão list | OneFootball

The forward Memphis Depay was one of the protagonists for Corinthians in the classic match against São Paulo, held last Thursday, during the 35th round of the Brazilian Championship. The Dutchman came off the bench and scored a beautiful goal, nutmegging defender Sabino and striking a clean shot to beat Rafael.

With the goal scored in the Majestic, Memphis reached a positive milestone for Corinthians. The number 10 achieved the famous ‘double-double’, a concept initially recorded in basketball and recently brought to football, usually accounting for the number of goals and assists.

If numbers for the Netherlands are counted, the Timão player had already reached the double-double this season. However, now, Memphis has reached the mark of 10 goals and 10 assists with the Corinthians jersey.

Memphis is the top assist provider for Corinthians this year, surpassing Rodrigo Garro, with seven assists. The Dutchman is also the second top scorer of the team, only behind Yuri Alberto, with 18 goals.

This is the fourth time in his career that Memphis has achieved the double-double in a single season. Before this, the forward had reached this goal in three other seasons with Lyon, France: 2017/18, with 22 goals and 17 assists; 2018/19, with 12 goals and 16 assists; and 2020/21, with 22 goals and 12 assists.

Memphis joins a select list

Memphis Depay joined the select list of players who achieved the double-double among the Serie A teams of the Brazilian Championship. The group is composed of four other players from Flamengo, Internacional, Palmeiras, and Red Bull Bragantino.

According to R10 Score data, Arrascaeta is on the list for Flamengo, with 22 goals and 16 assists this season. Alan Patrick represents Inter, with 19 goals and 12 assists. For Palmeiras, Maurício appears with 10 goals and 11 assists. Finally, for Red Bull Bragantino, Jhon Jhon has 11 goals and 10 assists.

Memphis, therefore, is only the fifth player to achieve the double-double among the more than 700 athletes that make up the Serie A teams of the Brasileirão. Despite criticism from fans, the Dutchman from Corinthians has stood out and proven to be a key player for the alvinegra team.

Memphis' numbers this season

Memphis is also the Corinthians player with the most goal contributions in 2025. In 46 games (36 as a starter), the number 10 contributed to 20 goals for the team this year, needing only 162 minutes to participate in a goal, according to Sofascore data.

The Dutchman also created 11 big chances, distributed 70 key passes, made 99 shots (44 on target), and won 142 duels.

It is worth noting that Memphis will be absent for Corinthians against Cruzeiro this Saturday. The Dutchman was diagnosed with a bone edema in his left knee after the classic against São Paulo and will be out along with Matheus Bidu, who felt pain in his right knee.
