Which Flamengo player could reach a milestone with the Brazil national team?

Brazil faces Haiti this Friday (19) in the second round of Group C of the World Cup, with four Flamengo players available. As such, Lucas Paquetá could reach 65 appearances for the Seleção in his career if he takes the field at Lincoln Financial Field in the United States.

Currently, the Ninho do Urubu academy graduate has 13 goals and eight assists in the 64 matches he has already played for Brazil. The player’s numbers include friendlies, World Cup qualifiers, Copa América, and the World Cup.

When did Lucas Paquetá start getting called up?

Paquetá received his first call-up during his first spell with Mengão in 2018. The midfielder then made his debut against the United States and El Salvador in friendlies managed by coach Tite.

Lucas Paquetá spent some time out of the Seleção’s squads. However, the academy graduate always remained on the radar of every coach who managed Brazil in this cycle before the 2026 World Cup.

Moreover, the 2026 edition is the second World Cup that Paquetá has played in during his career. That is because the midfielder was part of the squad that took part in the tournament in Qatar. The player scored one goal and provided one assist in the four matches he played.

Did Paquetá play against Morocco?

Carlo Ancelotti used the Ninho graduate as a starter in the 1-1 draw against Morocco in the first match of the group stage of the tournament. Therefore, the expectation is that the midfielder will play again against Haiti from 9:30 PM (Brasília time) this Friday (19).

Who else from Flamengo could play against Haiti?

Besides Paquetá, Ancelotti also has Alex Sandro, Danilo, and Léo Pereira available. Of the four, the left back and the natural center back were the only Flamengo players who have not yet taken the field. However, the pair could get minutes against Haiti.
