The striker is the Brazilian with the most goals in the competition and is already thinking about the top among all nationalities; absolute record holder is Ecuadorian Alberto Spencer

Gabigol and Libertadores form a highly successful equation at Flamengo. Together, they participated in the competition five times, reached three finals and won it twice. Guess who scored the club's four goals in the decisions? The number 10 shirt, who is the top scorer among Brazilians who competed in the race for the most coveted cup in South America.
With 31 goals (one for Santos and the rest for Flamengo), Gabigol is six behind the Uruguayans Fernando Morena and Pedro Rocha, who share second place in the general ranking. Asked if vice-leadership overall is an achievable goal for the 2024 Libertadores, the idol is certain that it is, but makes it clear that he needs more opportunities. In the current season, he started just twice. Last year, Tite didn't start any matches.
"I think it's possible, I hope that happens, knowing that we have to play as many games as possible for that to happen. And I'm also 28 years old ( in fact it will be 28 only in August). So, if I stay at Flamengo or stay in Brazil, this will happen naturally", he said in an interview recorded during Content Day, at Conmebol Libertadores.
Still in the interview with Conmebol, Gabigol was asked if he believes in the possibility of taking the 23 goals difference in relation to the Ecuadorian Alberto Spencer, absolute leader, with 54 scored and Peñarol's idol. He stated that he thinks, yes, at the top, but again he conditioned his goal on remaining in Brazilian football.
"Of course it's inevitable that you aim for that, I have this year left on my contract. I don't know what it's going to be like. If I stay in Brazil, I think it's possible. Everything is a question of adaptation, of being able to play together with the team and being able to go as far as possible. The goal is always to be champion", continued Gabigol, who has a contract with Flamengo until December.
Regarding his attempt to be a goalscorer in the Libertadores for the third time - he achieved it in 2019 and 2021 -, he insisted that he needs more minutes, but he tried to put collective goals at the forefront.
