Rodrigo Muniz and Gabigol played together at Flamengo, and each followed a different path in their career, but always kept their bond. Thus, the center forward, who currently plays for Fulham (ENG), sent a message to the idol of the Nation, who now represents Cruzeiro.

“He’s the real deal!”, said Rodrigo Muniz in a post that praised Gabigol’s stint at Flamengo. “Admit it: you were way too happy back then and never imagined that, in 2025, he would be out of Flamengo and a nobody in Brazilian football”, the post read.

WHAT’S THE CONTEXT OF THE MESSAGE?

A Flamengo page shared highlights, goals, and taunts from Gabigol from when the player still wore the red-and-black shirt. He even responded to taunts from a Racing (ARG) player by showing the champions’ patch.
