Flamengo regained the lead in the Brazilian Championship before the break for the Super Club World Cup and, in addition to their good collective form, they also dominate in individual statistics. With nine goals scored, Giorgian De Arrascaeta is the competition's top scorer and the player who has contributed the most goals . The feat, however, earned a good-natured “honk” from Kaio Jorge, Cruzeiro's striker, the Uruguayan's main competitor in the race for top scorer.
Kaio Jorge on the fight for the top scorer: "I was pissed. When it was my turn, he wanted to score"
Arrascaeta leads the scoring charts with nine goals, while Kaio Jorge is right behind him with eight: “I was shocked. When it was my turn, he wanted to score. When I was doing well, he started scoring too. But it’s good, it makes the competition tighter . The difference is only one goal (laughs),” said the Cruzeiro striker in an interview with SporTV.
The fight between Flamengo and Cruzeiro goes beyond the goalscoring. In the Brasileirão table, the two teams are also in a point-by-point dispute for the lead . Filipe Luís's Rubro-Negro leads with 24 points in 11 games. Right behind, the Minas Gerais team has 23, in an equally consistent campaign.
The first duel between the teams in this edition of the championship was won by Cruzeiro 2-1 , at Mineirão. The rematch is scheduled for October 1st, at Maracanã, for the 26th round - a clash that could have a decisive impact both on the table and on the top scorers.
Meanwhile, Flamengo's focus is on the FIFA Club World Cup . The team will begin preparations in the coming days and will make its debut in the tournament on June 16, against Espérance de Tunis, at Lincoln Financial Field, in Philadelphia (USA).

Corinthians arrives under pressure after their loss to Sport, the bottom of the table.

In recent days, rumors have surfaced that Flamengo could attempt to sign Arsenal striker Gabriel Jesus for the 2026 season. The idea would be to have the Brazilian as a key player in attack , a possibility that has been speculated on other occasions. However, an internal decision has already been made.
According to journalist Yago Martins of the Mundo Bola Flamengo website, the Flamengo board has no interest in pursuing Gabriel Jesus . The understanding is that the attack is already strong enough and that the club should prioritize reinforcements in other positions .
It's worth noting that, despite a mixed season, Pedro rebounded and became one of the team's top scorers , further reinforcing the management's confidence in the current squad. Despite this, the transfer market continues to be lively behind the scenes at Gávea, with other players being speculated about, such as goalkeeper Bento and midfielder Arias.
While awaiting the Copa Libertadores semifinal against Racing (ARG), Flamengo also remains focused on the Brasileirão . Under Filipe Luís, the team leads the competition with 51 points from 23 games, closely followed by Cruzeiro with 50 and Palmeiras with 49.
The next match will be this Sunday (28), at 8:30 pm, against Corinthians, at Neo Química Arena, for the 25th round. The São Paulo team is in 11th place in the championship and is looking for a victory to enter the fight for a place in the 2026 Copa Libertadores.
