Lucas Paquetá's return to Flamengo is still recent, yet the Ninho's prodigy already feels at home. In an effort to make the athlete feel even more welcome, Betano, the club's main sponsor, sent a message to the current number 20 of Mengão.
“He's back. Wore the Manto, made his mark, and made history. The boy from Ninho came in full force!”, Betano said in a social media post. Along with the phrase, the post also featured a photo of Lucas Paquetá celebrating his first goal since returning to Flamengo.

Yes! Lucas Paquetá broke his scoring drought upon returning to Flamengo last Sunday (15), during the quarter-finals of the Carioca. On that occasion, the midfielder received the ball at the edge of the penalty area and, with a first-time shot, struck into the left corner of Botafogo's goalkeeper Neto, leaving him with no chance. Thus, the Ninho's prodigy was a crucial piece in Mengão's triumph, which advanced to the semifinals.
After securing a goal and a spot in the semifinals of the Carioca, Lucas Paquetá and the entire Flamengo squad traveled to Argentina this Tuesday (17), where the first leg against Lanús (ARG) for the Recopa Sul-Americana will take place. The match kicks off at 9:30 PM (Brasília time) this Thursday (19) in Argentina.
Thus, Coluna do Fla TV, as usual, will show the match details with on-site coverage by Simon Lédo on YouTube, as well as on their website and social media. Finally, ESPN, on a closed channel, and Disney+, via streaming, will broadcast the Recopa Sul-Americana decision.
