Natan, who came through the ranks of Flamengo's youth academy, has once again become a topic of conversation among Brazilian fans after scoring a beautiful goal in the draw between Real Betis and Barcelona last Saturday (5) in the Spanish Championship. The defender, who is now an important player in the Andalusian team, had a standout performance and generated a wave of comments among the red-blacks on social media.
Playing as a starter at the Lluís Companys Olympic Stadium, the 24-year-old defender not only scored goals but was also one of the best on the pitch, according to the ratings from the Sofascore website. Natan received a score of 7.4, the highest of the match, even surpassing players from Barcelona itself. In addition to the goal, he made another dangerous shot and made 12 defensive actions, consolidating a solid performance.
Natan's good form has reignited an old debate among the fans of Mais Querido. The defender was sold in 2021, when the board chose to keep other names in the squad, such as Gustavo Henrique . At the time, the choice caused divisions, but now, with the young man's success in Europe, many fans have once again criticized the decision.
Natan's name became a trending topic over the weekend. Several CRF fans lamented the defender's early departure and recalled how he had already shown potential during his time with the professional team. Comments such as "they preferred Gustavo Henrique" and "another one we let slip away" were frequent mentions of the athlete.
Since leaving Brazil, Natan had a brief stint at Napoli in Italy, but it was at Betis that he found continuity and prominence. This season, he has been a regular starter in the team led by Manuel Pellegrini, and now, with his first goal in La Liga , he is further consolidating himself as a key player in the defense.

Flamengo striker Samuel Lino is close to realizing one of the biggest dreams of his career . The player should be a starter in the Brazilian National Team's match against Bolivia , this Tuesday (09), for the 2026 World Cup Qualifiers. In an interview with CBF, he spoke about the expectation of wearing the yellow shirt.
Flamengo's Samuel Lino on his debut with the Brazilian National Team: "I want to show 100% of my ability"
"I didn't imagine it. It's only been a month since I returned, and it's been a very intense month. I didn't expect to be here so quickly, but I'm happy to have been rewarded for my work. I'm entering with peace of mind, thinking about enjoying and enjoying this moment . It was a goal, and now it's become an accomplishment," said the striker.
"I want to show 100% of my ability, give my all, and help my teammates as much as possible . Quality will come later, but I want to make it clear that I'm committed and very happy with this opportunity," added the Flamengo player.
The striker was the most expensive signing in the club's history. Flamengo shelled out €22 million (R$139 million) plus bonuses to bring him from Spanish football . With the Manto Sagrado, he has already played nine games, scored two goals, and provided four assists.
After not leaving the bench in Brazil's victory over Chile, Samuel Lino trained with the starting eleven and is expected to make his debut against Bolivia in El Alto , a city located at an altitude of over 4,000 meters. The match takes place this Tuesday (09), at 8:30 pm (Brasília time).

Flamengo continues preparations for the duel against Juventude , next Sunday (14), in Caxias do Sul, for the 23rd round of the Brasileirão. In training, coach Filipe Luís has rotated the squad and given space to young people from Ninho do Urubu, among them Ryan Roberto , an attacking midfielder of just 17 years old, considered one of the main jewels of the red-black base.
In the activity this Monday (8), held at CT Ninho do Urubu, Ryan trained with the professionals, participating in the technical and tactical work led by the coach. This was the first time that the jewel joined coach Filipe Luís' team .
Filipe Luís isn't new to including young players in the first team's activities. Before taking over the senior team, he worked with Flamengo 's under-17 and under-20 teams, winning important titles such as the Rio Under-17 Cup and the 2024 Under-20 World Cup , which he won against Olympiacos at the Maracanã stadium. Therefore, the coach is well acquainted with the club's promising talent.
Considered one of the biggest bets in the youth academy, Ryan Roberto already has a contract until 2027 and a release clause set at 50 million euros (around R$318 million), as a way of protecting himself from possible approaches from European football.
The youngster was part of the squad that won the U-20 World Cup for the second time against Barcelona, although he wasn't used by coach Bruno Pivetti . With the recent departures of Lorran and Matheus Gonçalves, Ryan should gain more space in the U-20s and, who knows, pave the way for opportunities in the senior squad.
