One of the main idols of Flamengo’s recent generation, Flamengo, Arrascaeta is having a ‘golden’ season in 2025. This Saturday (13), the midfielder provided the assists for both goals scored by Mengão in the victory over Pyramids (EGY), in the Intercontinental semifinal.
It’s no wonder that the Uruguayan is ranked fourth in the world football ranking for players with the most goal involvements this year. With the two assists against Pyramids, Arrascaeta has reached 25 goals scored and 20 assists in the 2025 season.
1. Kylian Mbappé – 72 involvements (62 Goals and 10 Assists) 2. Harry Kane – 66 (58 Goals and 8 Assists) 3. Erling Haaland – 62 (53 Goals and 9 Assists) 4. Arrascaeta – 48 (28 Goals and 20 Assists) 5. Michael Olise – 48 (24 Goals and 24 Assists)
Arrascaeta has been Flamengo’s main standout in the Intercontinental Cup. In the quarterfinals, the Uruguayan scored both goals for Mengão in the match against Cruz Azul (MEX). In the semifinal, the Uruguayan provided the assists for the goals scored by Léo Pereira and Danilo.
Due to Arrascaeta’s historic numbers in 2025, Flamengo’s number 10 is in the running for the ‘King of America’ award, given by the newspaper El País. Besides the Uruguayan, other big names have been nominated for the award, such as Pedro, Lionel Messi, and Angel Di María.
Which players are competing for the King of America award? Rossi (Flamengo) Danilo (Flamengo) Arrascaeta (Flamengo) Bruno Henrique (Flamengo) Pedro (Flamengo) Messi (Inter Miami-ARG) Gustavo Gómez (Palmeiras) Vitor Roque (Palmeiras) Flaco López (Palmeiras) Paredes (Boca Juniors-ARG) Di María (Rosario Central-ARG)
Currently, 250 journalists from various countries across the American continent are responsible for voting for the King of America award. The winner will be announced on December 31, 2025, and Arrascaeta appears as one of the favorites to win the prize.
With Arrascaeta available, Flamengo returns to the field this Wednesday (17) to face PSG (FRA). Furthermore, the grand final of the Intercontinental will take place at 2:00 PM (Brasília time), at Al Rayyan Stadium, in Doha, Qatar.
As tradition dictates, Coluna do Fla will bring all the details about the match through its YouTube, website and social media. However, Globo (free-to-air channel), GE TV (YouTube), and Cazé TV (YouTube) will broadcast the Flamengo vs. PSG match.
