After Maracanã win, Arrascaeta plays down Flamengo title talk | OneFootball

This Saturday, Flamengo moved closer to winning the Brazilian Championship after their victory over Bragantino at Maracanã. The red-blacks benefited from Palmeiras' stumble, as they drew with Fluminense.

Now, the team from Rio can clinch the Série A title next Tuesday when they face Atlético-MG. However, midfielder Arrascaeta avoided discussing the matter.

“We only think about ourselves. We only think about winning, regardless of what happens. Every year we are fighting for important things. We are doing very well in the final stretch of the Brazilian league, and we are in the Libertadores final. We have another decisive match away from home,” said Arrascaeta.

The Title Scenarios

To secure the Brazilian Championship early this Tuesday, Flamengo needs to beat Atlético-MG and have Palmeiras lose to Grêmio. Currently, Mengão has 74 points in 35 games. Verdão, on the other hand, has 70 points with the same number of matches.
