Carlos Miguel booed by Corinthians fans on return to Itaquera | OneFootball

Carlos Miguel was jeered by the Corinthians fans before the classic match against Palmeiras this Sunday, during the Campeonato Paulista. This was the goalkeeper's first game as a starter at Neo Química Arena since signing with the rival team.

The taunts began even before the match started. About an hour before the game, the player stepped onto the field for warm-ups and was met with loud boos from the stands of the black-and-white stadium. He responded with applause.

The Corinthians fans present behind the South Sector, where Carlos Miguel was warming up, celebrated every goal he conceded while preparing for the match. They also began calling him a “frangueiro” (a term for a goalkeeper who lets in easy goals).

And it didn't stop there. After the Derby began, the taunts continued. Corinthians fans booed the goalkeeper every time he touched the ball or took a goal kick. He even committed a penalty in the first half of the classic, but the shot was missed by Memphis Depay.

Carlos Miguel appeared at Neo Química Arena in the classic against Palmeiras played in August last year, for the Brasileirão. However, at that time, he only stayed on the bench. Weverton was the starting goalkeeper for the green-and-white team.

The goalkeeper played for Corinthians between 2021 and 2024, before being sold to Nottingham Forest in England. He was Cássio's backup and had a stint as a starter in 2024 after the idol left the club. However, the goalkeeper was transferred to the English team after only 14 games, causing discomfort among the fans. In total, he played 25 matches for Timão, which then brought in Hugo Souza as a replacement.

The player did not find a place at Nottingham Forest and played only three matches. In 2025, Palmeiras signed the goalkeeper for R$ 35 million. He arrived as a backup but took over as the starter after Weverton suffered a hand injury.
