Carlos Miguel’s display against Palmeiras sparks debate on social media

The goalkeeper Carlos Miguel, from Palmeiras and former Corinthians player, was the center of attention on social media after conceding six goals in two games for Verdão. Replacing the injured starter Weverton, the keeper allowed three goals in the defeat to Flamengo over the weekend in the 2025 Brasileirão and three more against LDU this Thursday, in the semifinals of the Copa Libertadores.

Taunts and Ironies Among Fans

On social media, Corinthians fans didn't miss the chance to taunt the former club player, recalling how he left Parque São Jorge for Palmeiras.

“Better than seeing Palmeiras concede 3 in a crucial game is seeing Carlos Miguel being the one responsible for conceding 3,” wrote a black-and-white fan.

Others went further, joking about a supposed “Corinthians curse”:

“Corinthians curse strikes! Pato, Vítor Pereira, Carlos Miguel… messed with the wrong crowd! If I were him, I'd change professions,” they joked.

Palmeiras Fans Defend the Goalkeeper

Among the Palmeiras fans, however, the tone was different. Many supporters highlighted that Carlos Miguel was not directly at fault for the goals conceded and that the moment is part of the natural adaptation process to the new club.

“In my view, Weverton has always been a great goalkeeper. Made mistakes? So did São Marcos. Weverton has performed some miracles. Now, for those criticizing Carlos Miguel, I must have watched a different game. He wasn't at fault for any of the goals and even saved us from conceding 4 or 5,” said a Palmeiras fan.

Another fan pointed out that the rest of the team didn't help with defensive protection in the defeat against LDU, which complicated Palmeiras' situation in the Libertadores.

“I think we were lucky. If it weren't for Carlos Miguel, it would have been 5 to 0! I'd rather wait for games where the rest of the team actually plays to better judge his performance,” added the green-and-white representative.
