At just 18 years old, Léo Nannetti took center stage in the U-20 World Cup final at the Maracanã Stadium. The Flamengo goalkeeper was instrumental in the 2-2 draw in regulation time and shone in the penalty shootout , saving two shots in the 6-5 victory over Barcelona. The goalkeeper's impeccable performance cemented Mengão's title, securing their second title in the intercontinental youth competition.
Before the ball rolled, Léo Nannetti said he received a special message from Agustín Rossi, the starting goalkeeper for the professional squad. The encouragement served as fuel for a great performance: " Rossi sent me a message before the game to reassure me. I was able to put into practice what he and the goalkeeping coach, André, had said. We did a very detailed study and, thank God, I was able to be decisive," he said.
Emotional after the match, Nannetti highlighted the importance of the moment he experienced and the trajectory he built at the club: "It's wonderful to win this title so young alongside my brothers. I've been at Flamengo since 2016. Winning a World Cup with them is unforgettable," he declared.
With solid performances, the goalkeeper confirms his status as a promising young player. He has made 17 official appearances in 2025 and has established himself as one of the most promising players of the 2007 generation.
While the young goalkeeper celebrates, the professional team prepares to face Vitória this Monday (25), at 9 pm (Brasília time) , at Maracanã. More than 35 thousand tickets have already been sold, and the expectation is that the audience will exceed 50 thousand fans.
The player has lost his place in the red-black squad, but the board has made a clear decision for this transfer window and does not intend to negotiate with Cruzmaltino.

Matías Viña, currently Flamengo's third-choice left-back , has been targeted by Vasco da Gama to bolster their defense. The interest arises from the possibility of Lucas Piton, the club's starting midfielder, leaving this transfer window.
At 26, the Uruguayan hasn't been used by Filipe Luís and hasn't played since the Copa Libertadores Round of 16 against Internacional. Despite the lack of opportunities, the club's management doesn't plan to release him at this time, keeping him as a player for emergency situations.
For Vasco, the search for a player with international experience and experience is a priority, and Viña meets those requirements. Sources close to the player indicate that he welcomes the opportunity to play at São Januário , especially to gain playing time as he seeks a place in the Uruguayan national team for the 2026 World Cup.
Still, negotiations are considered complex. Flamengo has shown no interest in parting ways with the player, and the player himself, while open to a move, is not pushing for a departure. Vasco continues to monitor the situation and may formalize an offer if the situation changes.
Viña arrived with high expectations, but is currently competing for a spot with Alex Sandro and Ayrton Lucas, falling behind in the pecking order. His goal, however, is to regain his place in the team and remain an option for coach Filipe Luís throughout Flamengo 's season.
Former defender of Mais Querido, the Spaniard has a contract with Fiorentina until 2027 and does not intend to listen to offers from Brazilian clubs in this window.

Defender Pablo Marí, formerly of Flamengo and currently with Fiorentina (ITA), has no plans to return to Brazil at this time. According to Italian journalist Nicolò Schira, Atlético-MG has expressed interest in signing the defender, but has been stymied by the player's lack of interest in negotiating a departure.
In addition to the Minas Gerais club, Botafogo also expressed interest in the current window, but the situation is considered unviable. The Spanish player has a contract with the Italian team until 2027 and wants to fulfill his contract, remaining in European football.
Pablo Marí arrived at Fiorentina last season after a stint at Monza (ITA). Since then, he has appeared in 13 official matches, without scoring or providing any assists . The defender also appeared in two preseason friendlies against Leicester and Manchester United, solidifying his place in the squad.
The Spaniard built a notable relationship in Brazilian football during his time with Mengão in 2019. Signed from Manchester City, Pablo Marí played a key role in the team that won the Libertadores and the Brazilian Championship . He played 30 games, scoring three goals and providing one assist before moving to Europe.
Flamengo takes to the field this Monday (25), at 9 pm (Brasília time), to face Vitória at Maracanã. The red-black fans promise to make a difference again, with more than 35 thousand tickets sold in advance . The expectation is that the public will surpass the 50 thousand mark present at the stadium.

A large crowd is expected at the stadium. Buoyed by the team's strong form and their U-20 World Cup victory last Saturday, the red-and-blacks are promising to pack the stands. As of Monday morning, approximately 40,000 tickets had already been sold , with over 50,000 expected to attend.
Flamengo comes into the match with high morale after eliminating Internacional and advancing to the quarterfinals of the Copa Libertadores. In the Brasileirão, the team has 43 points and is in first place , two ahead of Cruzeiro, who won last Saturday and has 41 points.
For the match against Vitória, Filipe Luís will be without Erick Pulgar , who is still recovering from surgery on his right foot. This is the only confirmed absence for the Rio de Janeiro team, which is expected to maintain its starting lineup in search of another victory in front of its home crowd.
Their opponent is going through a difficult season. Under Fábio Carille's management, Vitória hasn't won in five matches and sits in the relegation zone after drawing at home to Juventude, despite opening up a two-goal lead. The Bahian team is desperately seeking a comeback to escape the bottom of the table.
