Flamengo reached the mark of 8 million subscribers on its YouTube channel and organized a special activity with the squad to celebrate the achievement. During the celebration, forward Pedro used the moment to tease Fluminense by recalling a lightning-fast goal in a recent Fla-Flu.
As the squad arrived at Ninho do Urubu this Friday (17), during the filming of the celebratory content, one of the people responsible for the video asked the players about the meaning of the balloons marked ‘8M’. In a joking tone and without hesitation, Pedro replied: “Eight minutes when I scored in Fla-Flu?”.

In the comments, Flamengo fans reacted with good humor to Pedro’s jab. In addition, the rubro-negros recalled the play against Fluminense, when the forward scored a stunning goal by lobbing Fábio with a shot from outside the technical area and opened the scoring in the 2-1 win last Sunday (12).
However, despite the joke, Pedro’s goal actually came in the seventh minute of the first half, not the eighth, as the striker said in the video. Even so, the play remained the standout moment of the match and reinforced the center forward’s strong form this season.
With the wonder goal scored against Fluminense, Pedro reached 11 goals for Flamengo this season. In addition, the forward found the net again this Thursday (16) against Independiente Medellín (COL) in the Libertadores. As a result, the No. 9 reached 12 goals in 2026 and pulled even further ahead as Mengão’s top scorer this season.
