Since joining Corinthians, the Argentine has recorded 32 assists by Sofascore’s criteria. Over the same period, he has created 49 big chances and delivered 336 key passes, numbers that underline his role in the team’s attacking build-up.

The survey also credits the midfielder with 222 accurate crosses. Garro also leads in fouls won, with 373, another sign of his constant involvement in actions on the ball.

Garro among all Corinthians players since his debut

In the period analyzed by Sofascore, the Argentine ranks as follows:

The numbers come at a time when Garro has once again become decisive for Corinthians. Last Wednesday (9), the playmaker was directly involved in the 1-1 draw with Estudiantes at Jorge Luis Hirschi Stadium in La Plata, in the first leg of the Libertadores quarterfinals.

After Timão fell behind on the scoreboard, the No. 8 found Kaio César early in the second half. The forward made the most of the pass and scored the goal that left the continental tie level.

Argentine also stands out in the Libertadores

The assist against Estudiantes was Garro’s fifth in the 2026 Libertadores. With that mark, the player moved to the top of the category in this edition of the tournament and also entered an important list in Corinthians’ history in the competition.

Among Corinthians players with the most assists in a single Libertadores edition, Garro is tied with Alex, Jadson, and Edilson, all with five. Ahead of them is only Marcelinho Carioca, who recorded nine assists in 1999 and six in 2000.

Garro’s five assists in the current campaign came across four matches. In the opener against Platense, the Argentine set up Kayke and Yuri Alberto in the 2-0 win. He then assisted Gustavo Henrique’s goals in the 2-0 victories over Independiente Santa Fe and Peñarol. The fifth assist came for Kaio César against Estudiantes.

As Corinthians are still alive in the Libertadores, the No. 8 can still add to his numbers and climb the club’s all-time single-edition ranking.

No. 8 regains prominence in 2026

Garro joined Corinthians in January 2024 after standing out for Argentina’s Talleres. Since then, he has become one of the squad’s main technical leaders and took part in the club’s title wins in the 2025 Campeonato Paulista, the 2025 Copa do Brasil, and the 2026 Supercopa do Brasil.

Last season, the Argentine went through periods on the sidelines because of physical problems, including patellar tendinopathy in his right knee and, later, a calf injury. In 2026, he has regained continuity and has been reclaiming his place as an important piece in the creative sector, especially since Fernando Diniz arrived.

In the current season, Garro has 45 appearances, three goals, and 12 assists. Across his time at Corinthians, he has 146 matches, 18 goals, and 34 assists, according to the club’s overall numbers used in Central do Timão’s survey. The difference compared with the 32 assists listed by Sofascore is due to the statistical criteria adopted by the platform.

The Argentine could return to the pitch this Sunday (13), when Corinthians visit Flamengo at 5:30 p.m. at the Maracanã for the 27th round of the Brazilian Championship. On Wednesday (16), at 9:30 p.m., Timão host Estudiantes at the Neo Química Arena to decide a place in the Libertadores semifinals.
