Flamengo faces Cruzeiro at Maracanã this Wednesday (11), for the fifth round of the Brazilian Championship. The Most Beloved thus counts on the 'law of the ex' to defeat the Minas Gerais team as the host.
Before transferring to Flamengo, Arrascaeta played for Cruzeiro. The midfielder won the Copa do Brasil three times with the Minas Gerais team before signing with the Most Beloved in 2019.
At Flamengo, Arrascaeta has won 18 titles and, like Bruno Henrique, is the player with the most trophies in the club's history. The midfielder is now preparing to face Cruzeiro and secure another victory with the Sacred Mantle.
In the 2025 season, Arrascaeta found the net against Cruzeiro. In the first-round match of the Brazilian Championship, the midfielder received a pass from Gerson and shot into the top corner, leaving goalkeeper Cássio with no chance. However, Flamengo lost 2-1 at Mineirão.
With Arrascaeta, Flamengo takes on Cruzeiro this Wednesday (11) at Maracanã, for the fifth round of the Brazilian Championship. The match is scheduled for 9:30 PM (Brasília time), with broadcast by Rede Globo on open channel, GETV on YouTube, and Premiere on pay-per-view.
