Flamengo takes the field this Wednesday (15th) to face Botafogo in the 28th round of the Brasileirão. Besides the Rubro-Negro adding three more points in the championship, the night could be even more special for Pedro.
This is because if he plays against Botafogo this Wednesday (15th), Pedro will complete 300 games wearing the Flamengo jersey. The forward, who has been a Rubro-Negro fan since childhood, joined the team in January 2020 on loan.
Throughout the 299 games played, Pedro has scored 150 goals wearing the Flamengo jersey, along with 34 assists to teammates. During this period, Athletico-PR, Fluminense, and Palmeiras are the forward's main victims, with seven goals each.
After the loan period in 2020, Flamengo decided to purchase Pedro from Fiorentina (ITA), spending around R$ 87 million on the Italian team. Since then, the number 9 has won 12 titles with the Sacred Mantle.
It's worth noting that Pedro's time at Flamengo hasn't been all rosy. In 2023, for instance, the forward was assaulted by Pablo Fernández, the physical trainer of Jorge Sampaoli, who was managing Mengão at the time.
Additionally, in the 2025 season, Pedro missed some games due to disciplinary reasons. This was because the forward's behavior in some training sessions bothered part of the squad. The situation was revealed by coach Filipe Luís himself during a press conference.
With Pedro available, Flamengo is preparing to face Botafogo this Wednesday (15th). The Carioca classic takes place at 7:30 PM (Brasília time) at Nilton Santos Stadium, for the 28th round of the Brasileirão.
As tradition dictates, Coluna do Fla will provide the best online coverage through YouTube, the website, and social media. However, the Premiere (pay-per-view) will broadcast the Flamengo vs Botafogo match.
