Arrascaeta shines for Flamengo: top Brasileirão rating, stats here | OneFootball

Flamengo Counts on Arrascaeta to Reverse Result at Arena MRV against Atlético-MG

Despite being overshadowed in the 1-0 defeat by Atlético-MG in the first leg of the Copa do Brasil round of 16, Flamengo is pinning its hopes on Arrascaeta's good form to reverse the result. This is because the Uruguayan leader leads the team in goals and assists this season.

Therefore, the number 10 will have a decisive role this Wednesday (06), in the return match against the Minas Gerais team, valid for the round of 16 of the Copa do Brasil, at Arena MRV. According to Sofascore, Arrascaeta is the player with the highest rating in the 2025 Brasileirão.

What are Arrascaeta's numbers so far?

In the evaluation of the entire season, the midfielder has already scored 14 goals and provided eight assists. Right behind is Luiz Araújo, second in the squad in direct participation, with nine goals and seven times serving his teammates to score.

Arrascaeta close to record?

Thus, the Uruguayan is seven goals away from becoming the greatest foreign scorer in Flamengo's history. This is because the first place in the ranking belongs to the Argentine Doval, who played for the club between 1969 and 1975 and scored 94 times with the Sacred Mantle.

What's Flamengo's next game?

With Arrascaeta available, but without Luiz Araújo, the Rubro-Negro faces Atlético-MG this Wednesday (06), at 19h (Brasília time), at Arena MRV, in Belo Horizonte, in the return match of the Copa do Brasil round of 16. As tradition, Coluna do Fla will bring all the information from the match live from the stadium.
