Samuel Lino joined Flamengo in the middle of the 2025 season and took part in great matches wearing the Sacred Mantle. For the forward, the 8-0 victory over Vitória at Maracanã, in the Brazilian Championship, became the most special one with the red-and-black jersey.
— I had many good games, but that one, there’s no way not to mention it. It was special. I scored two goals, helped with three assists. It was an 8-0, a memorable match in the 2025 championship in which we were champions. There’s no way to talk about another game besides that one against Vitória, — he said in an interview with GE.
On that occasion, Samuel Lino started as a regular for Flamengo. The forward found the net twice and provided three assists to his teammates. In addition, the player contributed with several successful dribbles and through passes.
However, Samuel Lino began to lose his place at Flamengo in recent matches. Cebolinha improved physically and technically, earning a spot in the starting lineup on some occasions during the 2026 season.
Despite this, the forward remains available for Flamengo. With the number 16 jersey, the Most Beloved faces Lanús (ARG) this Thursday (19th), in Argentina, for the first leg of the Recopa Sudamericana. The match is scheduled for 9:30 p.m. (Brasília time).
