😳 Ex-Cruzeiro and Fluminense player slams Gabigol: disgusting | OneFootball

Former midfielder Wagner, a champion with Cruzeiro and Fluminense, did not hold back when speaking about forward Gabriel Barbosa, Gabigol, currently at Santos.

When asked on the 7tv podcast if there was any player he did not like, Wagner referred to Gabigol as "disgusting."

"I've felt [disgust] from the start when he arrived [at Cruzeiro]. I tried to be a positive fan and think about what was best for Cruzeiro. But then he came up against Corinthians and it confirmed what I already knew," he said about Gabigol.

"I don't like him either personally or as a player. He's very disgusting," declared the midfielder, who also played for Vasco and América-MG, in addition to having been called up to the Brazilian national team.

The play mentioned by Wagner ended up defining Gabigol's short spell at Cruzeiro. He missed the kick in the 2025 Copa do Brasil semifinal. If he had scored, Cruzeiro would have eliminated Corinthians, who went on to advance and win the title.
