Arrascaeta reveals secret behind Flamengo’s strength in both leagues | OneFootball

Flamengo ‘isolates’ itself at the top of the Brazilian Championship

Arrascaeta was once again decisive wearing the Flamengo shirt this Sunday (28), in the match against Corinthians. That’s because the number 10 scored the goal that equalized the score, before Flamengo’s comeback. After the match, the Uruguayan revealed that he sees Mengão with a ‘champion’s face’.

— We approach every game as a final. Scoring points would give us even greater strength, we had drawn two home games. Today it was essential to get all three points. A champion team thinks this way. Treat every game as a final — he said, before concluding:

— I’m very happy with the group’s moment. Winning the Supercopa title against Botafogo. The Carioca as well. Reaching this point in the year competing in the Libertadores, the Brasileiro. Very focused. We know we have a very qualified squad, but it doesn’t always happen. So, we’re happy about that — concluded Arrascaeta, in an interview with ‘CazéTV’.

What is Arrascaeta’s situation?

Arrascaeta remains one of the main names for Flamengo this season. With the goal scored against Corinthians, the Uruguayan reached 19 goals in 2025, making it the most prolific year for the number 10.

And Flamengo?

Meanwhile, Flamengo remains at the top of the Brazilian Championship, with 54 points. Right behind, Cruzeiro is in second place with 50, and Palmeiras remains with 49 points.
