The recognition took place in an atmosphere of gratitude and emotion. The two forwards received personalized shirts from the hands of executive director José Boto and gave speeches expressing affection for the club. Bruno Henrique, one of the main idols of Flamengo's multi-champion generation, praised his trajectory since 2019 and said he still dreams of more titles.
Realization of a dream.." - Said Luiz Araújo
“I am happy to be increasingly putting my name in Flamengo’s history. I hope to bring more titles to the Nation and live this dream more and more. Winning titles and winning, these are my goals here”, declared the number 27. The striker had already been honored earlier in the season for reaching 100 goals for the club and for the 14 titles won with the Sacred Mantle.
Luiz Araújo, in turn, celebrated the feat of reaching 100 matches with the red-and-black jersey and made sure to be inspired by his teammate. “A dream come true, I always dreamed of being here at Flamengo and playing 100 games with this jersey is a dream come true. I'm very happy. I've already won some titles and I intend to win even more. I want to make 200, 300 like Bruno Henrique is doing there”, said the number 7.
“When I’m on the field, I’ll give it my all. I hope to win titles, score goals and play more games wearing this shirt,” Luiz added. The statements were released on the program “Flapress”, on FlamengoTV, which showed the moment of the tribute and the emotional speeches of the two players.
Bruno Henrique has scored 101 goals and provided 53 assists in 300 games. Signed in January 2019, he is one of the symbols of Flamengo's reconstruction and consolidation as a continental power in recent years. Even in the midst of a delicate moment, with an ongoing investigation into alleged betting manipulation, the number 27 maintains his sporting relevance and internal support. At the club, he is seen as an example of dedication.
His gallery of titles is robust : 15 trophies lifted, including two Libertadores (2019 and 2022), two Brasileiros (2019 and 2020), two Copas do Brasil (2022 and 2024), three Supercopas (2020, 2021 and 2025), one Recopa Sul-Americana (2020) and five Campeonato Cariocas (2019, 2020, 2021, 2024 and 2025).

Flamengo beat Juventude 2-0 last Sunday (14), at Alfredo Jaconi, for the Brazilian Championship, and ended a 28-year winless streak in Caxias do Sul. Arrascaeta opened the scoring and Emerson Royal closed the score, scoring his first goal for the club .
Emerson Royal reveals Filipe Luís's request at Flamengo: "Filipe wants me to be sharp, exploring my physical strength"
After the match, the full-back revealed a conversation with coach Filipe Luís, who advised him on attacking positioning: "I received criticism when I played injured because I couldn't give my best. But I wanted to stay on the field to help Flamengo . Filipe explained to me what he wanted from me: to get to the far post. I even asked my teammates to watch me during that movement," Royal said.
It was the full-back's first game since returning from injury. Royal had sprained his left ankle on August 13 against Internacional in the Copa Libertadores. Since then, he had only played a few minutes in the draw with Grêmio at Maracanã.
According to the player, Filipe Luís asked him to play differently than he was used to in his career: "At Tottenham, I played as a defensive midfielder, on the inside. But Filipe wants me to be sharp, exploiting my physical strength, passing, and crossing. He knows my ability to support, and that can really help the team ."
Signed in July for €9 million (approximately R$58 million) from Milan, Emerson Royal is competing for a spot with Varela, who was rested against Juventude due to a groin injury. " Big teams are like that; they always have top-notch players . Varela has a lot of quality, and so do I. The competition is healthy, we work hard, and the choice is Filipe's," said the full-back.
On Thursday (18), Flamengo faces Estudiantes in the Libertadores (quarter-finals, first leg), at 9:30 pm, at Maracanã . The Most Beloved only returns to the field for the Brasileirão on Sunday (21), against Vasco, also at the sacred temple.

Flamengo held a training session at Ninho do Urubu on Wednesday afternoon (17) with the entire squad on the field. However, Pulgar, Jorginho and Alex Sandro are still doing specific work and will not be available for the game on Thursday (18), at 9:30 pm, at Maracanã, for the first leg of the quarterfinals of the Copa Libertadores.
Chilean midfielder Erick Pulgar has returned to action on the pitch, but still needs at least two weeks to be cleared for the final phase of physical conditioning. He is recovering from a fracture in the fifth metatarsal of his right foot, suffered in June.
Jorginho and Alex Sandro are also out of the squad . The Italian-Brazilian midfielder is treating a muscle swelling in his left thigh and is undergoing transition activities supervised by physiotherapists. The left-back, meanwhile, continues to recover from a left calf injury.
Without the trio, Flamengo should enter the field with: Rossi; Varela (or Emerson Royal), Léo Ortiz, Léo Pereira and Ayrton Lucas; De la Cruz (or Allan), Saúl and Arrascaeta; Gonzalo Plata, Bruno Henrique (or Pedro) and Samuel Lino.
On the other side, coach Eduardo Domínguez projects a balanced match and highlighted Estudiantes' confidence in achieving a good result away from home. The Argentine team had a solid campaign in the group stage, eliminating Cerro Porteño in the round of 16 , and has three away wins, losing only to Botafogo .
