Pedro and Bruno Henrique, two pillars of Flamengo's attack, are neck and neck with 28 goals each in the Copa Libertadores. Their rival: Gabigol, a former teammate now at Santos, who holds the record with 31 goals. The two players will have the chance to close the gap in the quarter-finals against Independiente del Valle at the end of the season. This continental competition is an excellent springboard for those eligible for the 2026 World Cup in the United States.
