HOW WAS FLAMENGO'S VICTORY?

Flamengo started their journey in the Intercontinental Cup with a 2-1 victory over Cruz Azul, at the Ahmad Bin Ali stadium, and much of it was thanks to Arrascaeta. The Uruguayan was decisive from start to finish: he scored both red-black goals, dictated the offensive pace, and became the name of the game.

Sánchez even leveled the score in the first half, but after the break, Cruz Azul couldn't keep up with the pace imposed by Mengão. Thus, with the team organized by Filipe Luís and boosted by the brilliant performance of the number 10, Flamengo regained control and secured the ‘Derby of the Americas’ trophy.

FATHER OF MILANO?

Arrascaeta is experiencing the peak physical highlight of his career. If things are going well on the field, off the field is no different. Recently, the number 10 experienced another great emotion: witnessing the arrival of Milano, the first child of the Uruguayan with his wife Camila.

After qualifying for the Intercontinental semifinal, Arrascaeta celebrated. “Achievements, the birth of my son, health. I can't ask for anything more,” wrote the number 10 of Mengão on social media.
