The goal that meant a special milestone for the number 9 of Flamengo. Pedro became the top scorer of the 'new' Maracanã precisely against the team for which he started his professional shirt – and scored his first 11 goals at the stadium.
With the goal scored at Fla-Flu, Pedro reached 78 goals at Maracanã . No one has hit the stadium's net more times since it was reopened after renovation for the 2014 World Cup.
Gabigol, who until the beginning of this year was the stadium's top scorer since 2013, scored 77 times at Maracanã. This year, Gabigol scored one goal against Mário Filho, and Pedro, five.
Gabigol has more goals than Pedro for Flamengo at Maracanã, but the number 9 has a better average
However, Gabigol is still the player who scored the most goals for Flamengo at the new Maracanã. Of the number 10's 77 goals, 74 were for Flamengo, seven more than Pedro. Gabigol's other three goals at Maracanã were with the Santos shirt.
Third place in the new Maracanã's historic artillery goes to an attacking partner of the red-black goalscoring duo: Bruno Henrique has already scored 53 times at the stadium, once more than Cano, from Fluminense. Fred, also from tricolor, with 45, completes the top 5.
Although he has not yet surpassed Gabigol in the number of goals for Flamengo, Pedro's performance at the beginning of the year made him pass the number 10 on average. He needed 118 matches to reach 67 goals, an average of 0.56.
Gabigol scored his 74 goals in 144 matches, an average of 0.51. In terms of overall goals inside and outside the stadium, Gabigol is Flamengo's top scorer in the century, with 155 goals (48% for Mario Filho). Pedro reached 116 goals yesterday – that is, 58% of the times he scored for Flamengo were at Maracanã.

O Flamengo vive uma pausa nos gramados por conta da Data FIFA, mas o momento recente da equipe acende um alerta. Nos últimos cinco jogos da temporada, o time marcou apenas três gols e venceu uma única partida.
Nos compromissos mais recentes, o Flamengo venceu apenas o Corinthians, por 2 a 1, de virada, pela 25ª rodada do Brasileirão. Além disso, empatou com Vasco e Cruzeiro, e foi derrotado pelo Estudiantes (Libertadores) e pelo Bahia (Brasileirão). Durante esse período, o time passou em branco em três partidas, um desempenho ofensivo bem abaixo do esperado para um elenco estrelado.
O ataque rubro-negro tem sido motivo de preocupação para Filipe Luís. Nos últimos dez jogos, o treinador repetiu a linha ofensiva apenas uma vez, o trio formado por Gonzalo Plata, Samuel Lino e Pedro, que esteve junto na goleada por 8 a 0 sobre o Vitória e no empate em 1 a 1 com o Grêmio. A falta de continuidade e as mudanças frequentes têm impactado a fluidez ofensiva do time, que sofre para transformar posse de bola em chances claras.
Com a paralisação do calendário, Filipe Luís aproveita o período para recuperar jogadores desgastados e corrigir falhas táticas. A derrota para o Bahia, por 1 a 0, custou a liderança do Brasileirão, agora ocupada pelo Palmeiras. Ambas as equipes somam 55 pontos, mas o Flamengo está em segundo lugar devido ao critério de vitórias, vantagem do time paulista.
O retorno do Flamengo aos gramados será no dia 15 de outubro, contra o Botafogo, às 19h30 (horário de Brasília), no Estádio Nilton Santos, pela 28ª rodada do Brasileirão. O clássico será transmitido ao vivo pelo Premiere (pay-per-view) e promete ser um teste importante para medir a resposta do elenco após a pausa da Data FIFA.
Exclusive investigation indicates that the midfielder is focused on Zenit and is not in talks with the São Paulo team; Mengão focuses on renewals for 2025

According to information released by journalist Felippe Facincani, Gerson would be willing to return to Brazilian football and had held initial talks with Palmeiras. However, an investigation by Gazeta do Urubu indicates that this information is untrue. The midfielder has been at Zenit for four months and has yet to make his full debut for the Russian club, as he is recovering from an injury suffered shortly after his arrival.
The player hasn't played in 50 days and hasn't even participated in a single official match for the St. Petersburg team . Therefore, negotiations with any Brazilian team are unlikely at this time. Sources close to the player assure that he remains focused on recovery and regaining his place in the Zenit squad.
Flamengo 's name was even considered, but a return is practically ruled out. The relationship between Marcão, Gerson's father and agent, and the Flamengo board has remained strained since the player's tumultuous departure. Furthermore, the squad already boasts recent midfield reinforcements like Jorginho and Saúl, which eliminates the need for new signings in that area.
On Palmeiras' side, although coach Abel Ferreira has been mentioned in some speculation, the São Paulo club is not in talks with the player. The investigation itself confirms that, to date, there has been no formal contact or concrete interest from the Palmeiras board.
While Gerson seeks a place in Russia, Flamengo 's board focuses its efforts on securing the continued presence of key players. José Boto is working on extending Giorgian De Arrascaeta's contract until 2028 , reinforcing the club's long-term sporting plan.

According to journalist Felippe Facincani, midfielder Gerson is reportedly interested in returning to Brazil next season . His staff is in initial talks with Palmeiras , although the process is still in the preliminary stages. The player, currently at Zenit, was acquired for €25 million (approximately R$157 million), which represents a financial obstacle for any interested Brazilian club.
The Russian team's board is reportedly willing to release the player in January , provided they receive a satisfactory offer. However, Gerson hasn't been a regular starter in Zenit's squad, which facilitates a possible negotiation.
A return to Flamengo is considered unlikely at this point. The relationship between Marcão, Gerson's father and agent, and the Flamengo board has remained strained since the player's tumultuous departure . Furthermore, the club recently signed defensive midfielders Jorginho and Saúl, bolstering the midfield and reducing the need for further investments in that area.
On the green and white side, Palmeiras appears to be the most viable option, mainly because it offers the player greater visibility. Gerson's goal is to play in the 2026 World Cup, and the showcase of Brazilian football could help him regain his place on the national team. Coach Abel Ferreira has reportedly already given the green light for a possible deal, although sources close to Gazeta do Urubu indicate that negotiations are currently underway.
While Gerson decides his future in Europe, Mengão's board is focusing its efforts on retaining key players . Executive director José Boto is working on extending Giorgian De Arrascaeta's contract until 2028, aiming to ensure the Uruguayan midfielder remains a cornerstone of the team.
