Having scored the first goal in the 2-0 victory over Internacional , Arrascaeta is enjoying one of the best moments of his career. The Uruguayan number 10 has reached 15 goals this season, along with 11 assists , figures that place him as the sole leader among Flamengo 's top scorers in 2025.


" I'm happy to be able to help the team, whether with a goal or an assist. On the field, that's the most important thing for me. I'm happy, I'm able to get into the box and score. However, the most important thing was to come out with the qualification," said the midfielder after the match at Beira-Rio.


VICTORY OVER INTERNACIONAL


With the victory at Beira-Rio, the Red-Blacks confirmed their place in the quarterfinals of the Copa Libertadores and will face Estudiantes-ARG.
