Arrascaeta celebrates Libertadores win with Flamengo, ignores Brasileirão | OneFootball

Midfielder Arrascaeta won his third Libertadores title with Flamengo this Saturday, in the 1-0 victory over Palmeiras, in Lima, Peru. The Uruguayan was moved by the trophy and, at this moment, just wants to think about celebrating.

“It's hard to express my feelings right now. Coming back here and being champion again, there are no words. It was very important for me to give back to my wife, who couldn't be here, with this trophy,” he said.

Arrascaeta was also sincere when asked about the decisive match Flamengo will have on Wednesday, against Ceará, for the 37th round of the Brazilian Championship. The game could secure the title for the competition.

“We can't think about the Brazilian league right now. We deserve to celebrate. This whole group fought hard, we went through difficulties. It's incredible,” he concluded.

With the 1-0 victory over Palmeiras this Saturday, Flamengo became the Brazilian team with the most titles in the history of the competition: a total of 4. In addition to 2025, the club won in 1981, 2019, and 2022.

Cutting the nets

Flamengo players took a curious action after winning the Libertadores title. They went towards the net where the final goal was scored and started cutting it to keep as a memento.

Goalkeeper Rossi, however, preferred to take a piece of the net where he himself was defending during the second half of the match.
