Atlético-MG's bogeyman: Flamengo back Arrascaeta as 'ace' | OneFootball

Atlético-MG is the biggest victim of Arrascaeta’s career

Flamengo take the field shortly to face Atlético-MG this Sunday (26), in the 13th round of the Brasileirão. Trying to move closer to the top of the table, the Rubro-Negro side hopes to count on the ‘star’ Arrascaeta, who takes the field with a special feeling against the Minas Gerais team.

That’s because Atlético-MG is the club that has conceded the most goals to Arrascaeta, with ten goals over the course of his career. Right behind come América-MG and Palmeiras. Therefore, the number 10 is one of Flamengo’s main hopes for this Sunday’s match (26).
