Serie A star ‘suffers’ in penalty shootout during Flamengo v Fluminense | OneFootball

Revealed in Flamengo's youth categories, Wesley watched the Fla-Flu

Once Flamengo, always Flamengo. Even in Italy, Wesley doesn't forget his roots with Mengão. This Sunday (08), the Roma (ITA) full-back/winger was caught 'suffering' during the penalty shootout against Fluminense, in the final of the Campeonato Carioca.

Amanda França, Wesley's wife, posted a photo of the full-back following the penalty kicks. It's worth noting that the kicks took place around 8:30 PM (Brasília time). In other words, it was already the early hours in Italy, as the country is four hours ahead (12:30 AM).

Wesley and Amanda's support paid off, as Flamengo took the trophy. After a 0-0 draw, the Most Beloved won the penalty shootout 5-4. Luiz Araújo missed first for the red-black side, but Mengão turned it around with saves from Agustín Rossi on shots from Guga and Otávio.

HOW IS WESLEY DOING IN ITALY?

A right-back during his time at Flamengo, Wesley has been playing as a left winger at Roma. In fact, the Ninho graduate is one of the highlights of the competition this season. In 2025/26, the youngster scored four goals and provided one assist in 32 matches for the team.

Due to his versatility in Italian football, Wesley is a strong candidate to play in the World Cup in the middle of the year. Additionally, the full-back might return to Maracanã on May 31, when the Brazilian National Team will face Panama, in the last friendly before the World Cup.

WILL WESLEY CHEER FOR FLAMENGO IN THE TEAM'S NEXT GAME?

If Wesley stayed up until 12:30 AM (Italian time) to celebrate the Carioca title, the full-back will need to stay up all night if he wants to follow Flamengo in the Brasileirão. On Wednesday (11), the Most Beloved will face Cruzeiro at 9:30 PM (Brasília time), which means 1:30 AM (Italian time).
