TECHNOLOGY! GERSON, DOWNTOWN IN FLAMENGO, WILL BE OPERATED WITH THE HELP OF ROBOT THIS FRIDAY

Flamengo enjoyed a memorable night, thrashing Vitória 8-0 , but the match also held a special chapter for Pedro. Scoring three goals in the match, the striker reached the 100-goal mark at Maracanã, cementing his position as the ninth-highest scorer in the history of the Rio de Janeiro club . Still on the field, shortly after the final whistle, Pedro expressed emotion as he commented on the historic feat.

In a heartfelt statement, the number 9 recalled his career and the weight of achieving such impressive numbers. "Today, the House of the Unforgettable will be unforgettable for me. The day I scored 100 goals at Maracanã will be etched in my memory forever. As a child, as a fan, I never imagined I'd be able to fulfill this dream of playing here, scoring goals for my favorite team," said the striker.

SHIRT 9 OVERCOME OBSTACLES

Pedro 's season was also marked by challenges. At one point, he was even relegated to the starting lineup by Filipe Luís, following criticism of his dedication in training. Furthermore, rumors of a possible departure from the club heightened tensions during the period.

Despite the difficulties, the striker emphasized that each phase strengthened him and credited his success to faith. " I believe that everything that happens in my life has a purpose, and I can only thank God for each phase, each stage I face, each challenge I overcome. This serves to mature me and grow even more. I return the honor and glory to Jesus, because he is the one who sustains me," Pedro stated.

FLAMENGO'S NEXT CHALLENGE
