Arrascaeta is one of Flamengo’s most playful players on social media. Given that, this Wednesday (22), Mengão’s No. 10 opened a special “vote” ahead of the clash with Vitória in the fifth round of the Copa do Brasil.
“Wednesday or four-time champs? You choose”, said Arrascaeta in a post on X, formerly Twitter. Besides the caption, the Uruguayan shared a photo in which he appeared wearing Mengão’s new white jersey. With that post, Flamengo fans flooded the comments and interacted heavily with the player.

It is important to point out that Arrascaeta’s joke refers to the number of Flamengo titles in the Copa Libertadores. With titles in 1981, 2019, 2022 and 2025, Mengão is the only Brazilian club to have won the continental competition four times.
In the Copa do Brasil, Flamengo has even more titles. That is because the Rubro-Negro won the national knockout tournament in 1990, 2006, 2013, 2022 and 2024. Therefore, Fla can claim its sixth trophy in this edition.
For tonight’s match, Flamengo is expected to field an alternative lineup. As a result, some regular starters should be rested, while other players may get more minutes. Meanwhile, Erick Pulgar (shoulder injury), Carrascal (STJD suspension) and Lucas Paquetá (thigh) are confirmed absences.
The match between Flamengo and Vitória takes place at 9:30 p.m. Brasília time this Wednesday (22), at the Maracanã. As usual, Coluna do Fla TV will cover all the details of the showdown with on-site coverage from Rodrigo Lima and Rock Hudson on YouTube, as well as on the website and social media.
