Arrascaeta was a key player throughout Flamengo’s fourth Libertadores campaign. From his feet came the assist for Danilo’s goal, which gave his team a 1-0 win over Palmeiras, on Saturday (29), at the Monumental de Lima Stadium, in Peru.
He was named the best player in this edition of South America’s most important tournament, and the Uruguayan celebrated the achievement in an interview with Globo:
“To come back here, to be a champion again with our fans, there are no words. Unfortunately my wife was not there, I really wanted her to be here, but she is in the last stage of her pregnancy. It was very important for me to contribute to this trophy for the effort she put in for our family.”“, Arascaita stated.
The number 14 also stressed that although Flamengo will play a decisive match in the Brazilian League next Wednesday (03), against Ceara, the team deserves to take advantage of the moment after all the difficulties it has faced during the season:
“I can’t think of another match now. We deserve to celebrate because this whole group fought so hard this year. We’ve been through a lot of adversity and there are always difficult moments. I have no words to describe this moment. It’s unbelievable!”Complete.
