Two young talents revealed by Flamengo shone in Europe this Saturday (14). Goalkeeper Kauã Santos made his Bundesliga debut for Eintracht Frankfurt, helping the team to a 2-1 victory over Wolfsburg. Kauã entered the field after the experienced Kevin Trapp was injured at the end of the first half. Meanwhile, defender Léo Duarte scored his first goal in European football, securing Basaksehir's 1-0 victory over Bodrum in the Turkish league.
Kauã Santos, who arrived at Flamengo at the age of 16, he never played for the Rio club's main team. After standing out in the youth categories, the goalkeeper caught the attention of Eintracht Frankfurt, who invested R$8.4 million for 70% of his economic rights. On his debut, Kauã was unable to save a penalty taken by Baku, but held off Wolfsburg's pressure, helping to maintain his team's victory.
In turn, Léo Duarte, Copinha champion, rose to Flamengo professionals in 2016 and, little by little, established himself as a starter. In 2018, Milan, from Italy, spent 11 million euros to sign him. After a discreet spell at the Italian club, Léo transferred to Basaksehir, where he finally scored for the first time in Europe.

Flamengo is among those classified for the new FIFA Club World Cup which will be held in June 15 to July 13, 2025. The tournament will take place in the United States and will serve as a test event before the 2026 World Cup, which will be held in the three North American countries (Canada, USA and Mexico).
The competition, however, has been the target of numerous criticisms, mainly from Europeans. Right-back Dani Carvajal and Real Madrid midfielder Federico Valverde, in a press conference ahead of the UEFA Super Cup, disputed the calendar set up by FIFA and said it was impossible to maintain high performance with so many games.
“It doesn't make any sense. I repeat what I said before: It is impossible for us to maintain a great level and maximum performance having to travel to the FIFA Intercontinental Cup and the new FIFA Club World Cup”, said Carvajal. The Spaniard also said that athletes make a lot of trips on FIFA Dates and assured that no player can be at full capacity after 72 games.
Midfielder Valverde agreed with his clubmate and also added the fact that South American players who play in Europe have to make long trips during FIFA Dates when returning to their home country.
“Those who are from South America, for each national team game, have 12-hour trips and then play the next day. Obviously, it's very complicated. For example, this year, we have already trained much less. We have much less energy for this year and it will be difficult. We will try to do the best we can every day”, said the Uruguayan.
Real Madrid coach, Carlo Ancelotti, corroborated his athletes' statements. “I think what the players think is the most important thing because they are the ones who play the matches, run for 90 minutes and have to travel”, said the Italian, who had previously criticized the new Club World Cup and even declared that the Merengue club would not play in the contest. The Spanish giant's board denied the coach.
