In addition to his brilliant form with Flamengo, midfielder Arrascaeta is also showcasing his quality with the Uruguayan National Team. That’s because the player scored one of Celeste’s three goals in the victory over Peru, in the 2026 World Cup Qualifiers. With this, the player stood out among the others from Brazil.
Arrascaeta became the only player in the Brasileirão to record more than 30 goal involvements for club and country in 2025. The Uruguayan has reached 19 goals and 13 assists this season, combining his performances for Flamengo and Uruguay.
Following his performance, the Flamengo player received praise from fans, Uruguay’s coach, and the media. “[Arrascaeta] is very valuable, but what he does at Flamengo, playing twice a week, scoring goals, providing assists, he’s a player who, in this version, is very good,” said coach Marcelo Bielsa, for example.
At Flamengo, Arrascaeta’s numbers bring him close to his best season wearing the red-and-black shirt. That’s because the number 10 has recorded 17 goals and 13 assists in 42 matches. In 2019, the Uruguayan scored 18 goals and assisted his teammates on 19 occasions.
In the Brasileirão specifically, the Uruguayan has reached 22 goal involvements, the same number as Estêvão achieved for Palmeiras in the entire 2024 edition. Therefore, De Arrascaeta needed fewer games to match the leader of the previous statistic.
After the FIFA break, the red-and-black team faces Juventude on the 14th of this month, starting at 4pm (Brasília time), in a match valid for the 23rd round of the Campeonato Brasileiro. The game will take place at Alfredo Jaconi, in Caxias do Sul.
