The next duel between Cruzeiro and Flamengo , valid for the Brazilian Championship, will mark a special reunion : Gabigol will face the club where he became an idol and won great titles. The match will be at Mineirão, but the striker's moment is different: today, Gabi is a reserve in the team led by Leonardo Jardim.
Before the clash with Flamengo, Gabigol should once again start on the bench . This Sunday (27), Cruzeiro faces Vasco, and the expectation is that Kaio Jorge will take over as the starter in charge of Raposa's attack.
Cruzeiro's likely line-up for the match includes: Cássio (or Léo Aragão); Fagner (William), Jonathan Jesus, Fabrício Bruno and Kaiky; Lucas Romero, Christian (Lucas Silva) and Matheus Pereira; Wanderson, Rodriguinho and Kaio Jorge (Gabigol).
On Vasco's side, the formation should have : Léo Jardim; Paulo Henrique, João Victor, Lucas Freitas and Lucas Piton; Hugo Moura and Jair; Nuno Moreira, Philippe Coutinho and Rayan; Pablo Vegetti.
Wearing the Flamengo shirt, Gabigol played 306 matches , scored 161 goals , gave 44 assists and won 13 titles . Among the main cups are two Libertadores (2019 and 2022), two Brasileiros (2019 and 2020), two Copas do Brasil (2022 and 2024) and two Supercopas do Brasil (2020 and 2021), in addition to the Recopa Sul-Americana (2020) and four Campeonato Cariocas (2019, 2020, 2021 and 2024).
Gabigol arrived at Rubro-Negro in 2019, initially on loan from Inter Milan . After the success of the season, he was bought permanently for around R$96.9 million . Before that, the striker had played for Santos and Benfica.

Flamengo officially announced the signing of Colombian midfielder Jorge Carrascal this Thursday (31). At 27 years old, the player arrived in Rio de Janeiro after a long journey of more than 19 hours , coming from Russia, where he played for Dynamo Moscow. He is the fourth reinforcement confirmed by the club in the window, alongside Saúl, Emerson Royal and Samuel Lino.
The acquisition of Carrascal represents another step in Flamengo's ambitious project for the remainder of the season. To complete the deal with the Russian club, Flamengo paid 12 million euros— approximately R$77.5 million at the current exchange rate —in a negotiation that dragged on for weeks.
This Thursday (31), the midfielder appeared at Ninho do Urubu, where he underwent medical examinations , visited the facilities at CT George Helal and met with the Technical Director of Football, José Boto. After the completion of the procedures, the player signed a contract with Flamengo.
Carrascal's official presentation was scheduled to take place at the Maracanã stadium before the Copa do Brasil round of 16 clash against Atlético-MG. The event follows the model adopted with Samuel Lino, who was also presented directly to fans in the stadium stands. However, the documentation was not released in time.
Negotiations between Flamengo and Dynamo Moscow began even before the Club World Cup , but faced obstacles before completion. The Rio de Janeiro club had to reformulate its initial proposal, adjusting amounts and payment terms, until reaching an agreement with the Russians. Although the terms were defined in early July, the transfer was only officially finalized this week.
