Photo of Léo Ortiz worries fans ahead of Flamengo v Fluminense clash | OneFootball

Flamengo with Léo Ortiz competes in the final of the Campeonato Carioca at Maracanã this Sunday (08)

During the period of poor performance by the team, Léo Ortiz is one of the targets of criticism from the Flamengo fans. This is because the supporters believe that the defender is overweight. However, the number 3 posted a photo this Saturday (07) that says otherwise.

Léo Ortiz appears alongside his wife Maitê Lo in a sort of gym. The defender is shirtless while flexing his left bicep and his defined abdomen stands out. Thus, the fans were impressed, apologized, and made ironic comments.

What do the comments on Léo Ortiz's photo say?

“Breathe out Leo Ortiz,” said one fan. “People criticized him so much that it's having an effect,” highlighted another supporter. “Leo Ortiz's problem was never being overweight, he has declined technically, people just need to accept that,” pointed out another.

Did Léo Ortiz feel the criticism from Flamengo fans?

This is not the first time the athlete has suffered from comments about supposed excess weight. This is because the number 3 used to be quite active on the X profile, formerly Twitter. However, the player deactivated his account on the social network after the comments back in 2025.

This year, however, there are rumors that the supporters are approaching delivery drivers entering the condominium where the athlete lives. This is because the fans want to ensure that the defender does not eat poorly.

What is Flamengo's next match?

With Léo Ortiz available, Flamengo and Fluminense face off this Sunday (8), starting at 6 PM (Brasília time), for the final of the Campeonato Carioca. The decision is a single match: in case of a draw in regular time, the trophy will be decided by penalties.

Coluna do Fla TV broadcasts all the details of the Fla-Flu on YouTube, in addition to real-time coverage on the website and social networks. Globo (open TV), SporTV (cable channel), Premiere (pay-per-view), and GE TV (YouTube) also broadcast the game.
