Corinthians' No. 8 shines in key Brasileirão stat since 2024 | OneFootball

Signed two seasons ago from Talleres, Argentina, attacking midfielder Rodrigo Garro has become one of Corinthians’ main players since his arrival, often serving as the team’s ‘brain.’ A survey released by the Fiel Imprensa profile on X, formerly Twitter, shows that the Argentine stands out in an important category for the club in the Brazilian Championship since 2024.

Since then, in the national competition, the Argentine has been directly responsible for creating 13 of the last 15 occasions in which a Corinthians player produced at least five clear goal-scoring chances in a single Brasileirão match. According to the data released by the page, Rodrigo Garro reached that mark in six matches in the 2024 Brasileirão.

That year, in the 1-1 draw against Juventude in Itaquera, he created nine chances. He then produced eight chances in the 4-2 away win against Criciúma, and six in the matches against Vasco da Gama, Vitória, and Red Bull Bragantino. Against Athletico-PR and Internacional, the player created five big chances.

In the 2025 Brazilian Championship, he repeated the feat five times. Against Grêmio, he posted the highest number: seven chances created. Against Botafogo and Bahia, there were six, and five against Cruzeiro and Juventude. In the 2026 season, he has already reached that mark in two matches: Grêmio (7) and Vasco (6). Since Fernando Diniz’s arrival, the midfielder has been getting back to his best form and leads Timão’s assist rankings this year (11).

Under contract until December 2028, Rodrigo Garro has 17 goals and 33 assists in 134 matches (108 as a starter), with 60 wins, 36 draws, and 38 losses – a 53.73% success rate. In addition, he has won three titles: the Paulista Championship (2025), the Copa do Brasil (2025), and the Supercopa do Brasil (2026), against Palmeiras, Vasco da Gama, and Flamengo, respectively.
