Milano, the first son of Flamengo’s number 10, Arrascaeta, was born this Saturday (6), moments before Flamengo’s departure for Qatar, where they will compete in the Intercontinental. The name, somewhat unusual in Brazil, caught attention.
But what is its meaning? THE Sporting News show.
What does Milano mean?
