Pedro reigns again, Flamengo star tops Carioca scoring for third time | OneFootball

Pedro finished the Carioca as Flamengo's top scorer for the third time, repeating the feats of 2021 and 2023

In addition to winning the Campeonato Carioca title this Sunday (08)—the 40th in Flamengo's history—Pedro had yet another reason to celebrate. That’s because the number 9 finished the state championship as top scorer for the third time wearing the Rubro-Negro jersey.

In total, the Flamengo striker scored six goals in this season’s Campeonato Carioca. It’s worth noting that Pedro finished the state championship sharing the top scorer title with Patrick Ferreira, from Bangu.

Pedro scored four goals against Madureira and found the net twice against Sampaio Corrêa. With that, the striker ends the Carioca as Flamengo’s top scorer for the third time, repeating his feats from 2021 and 2023.
