The match against Botafogo, at Neo Química Arena, this Sunday at 4pm (Brasília time), valid for the 36th round of the Brazilian Championship, will have special significance for midfielder Rodrigo Garro. If the player takes the field, he will reach the milestone of 97 matches for Timão and thus become the Argentine who has played the most for the club.

Garro will surpass defensive midfielder Fausto Vera, who played for Corinthians between 2022 and 2024. The midfielder played 96 matches during that period and later transferred to Atlético-MG.

On the overall list of all foreign players, Garro will move up to eighth place among the players who have worn the Corinthians shirt the most. Leading the “gringos” ranking is Paraguayan striker Romero, who took the field 375 times in his two spells with Timão.
