Even you, Fábio? Fluminense keeper makes a howler for Palmeiras goal 🎥
Goalkeeper Fábio made a HUGE mistake during the first half of the match against Palmeiras this Wednesday (23), in the Brasileirão. Fluminense was heading into halftime leading 1-0, but the 44-year-old veteran made an error that resulted in the equalizer. Maurício received a cross from Sosa in the penalty area and headed the ball without much power, straight at Fábio. He seemed to be in a great position to make a simple save, but let the ball slip and watched it hit the back of the net. See the play below: Maurício's goal came with Palmeiras' first shot on target in the match.

Nenê joins exclusive club as he turns 44, check out all the players over 40
Anderson Luiz de Carvalho, known as Nenê, is turning 44 years old this Saturday (19). With 1,044 matches played in his career, Juventude's number 10 is part of an increasingly short list of active forty-somethings in the world's top leagues. This list is led by Fábio, Fluminense's goalkeeper. It started to include Cristiano Ronaldo this year. And it features ANOTHER Nenê (see details below). Nenê has been with Papo since April 2023. His contract runs until the end of this season and includes productivity triggers and goals to be achieved. The video confirming his stay at the club from Serra Gaúcha for 2025 "rode the wave" of longevity in football. Watch it again below: Discovered by Paulista, Nenê is now at the 15th club of his career. Which is likely to be his last.

He was playing successfully for PSG when he achieved this feat alongside Giroud, then a Montpellier player. Both scored 21 goals in the 2011/2012 season. He was also celebrated by another former club, Monaco.

And he's still chasing an even more significant one: the player with the most appearances in football history. He currently has 1,381. The record holder is former English goalkeeper Peter Shilton, who played 1,387. Now 76 years old, he began his career in 1966 at Leicester and ended it in 1997 playing for Leyton Orient.

Joao Pedro tallies twice to lead Chelsea into CWC final over Fluminense
João Pedro scored a brace against his boyhood club in his first start for his new team, leading Chelsea into the FIFA Club World Cup final with a 2-0 semifinal victory over Fluminense on Tuesday afternoon in East Rutherford, N.J. Joao Pedro tallies twice to lead Chelsea into CWC final over Fluminense The 23-year-old declined to celebrate either emphatic tally in just his second appearance for the Blues, one that propelled the London side into their second major international final in three months. After winning the UEFA Europa Conference League final 4-1 over Real Betis on May 28 in Wroclaw, Poland, Chelsea on Sunday will face the winner of Wednesday's semifinal between Real Madrid and Paris Saint-Germain. Both those matches are also in New Jersey. Fluminense of Rio de Janeiro is the final non-European team to be eliminated in a tournament where all four Brazilian entrants reached the knockout phase, including two that reached the quarterfinals. After previously appearing in the 2023 final of the Club World Cup's previous, smaller format, their return was prevented by one of their own. Pedro came up through Fluminense's youth academy, but after 25 appearances in the Brazilian top flight in 2019 was off to England to play first with Watford and then Brighton and Hove Albion. Then this summer, he made a move to Chelsea for a reported $82 million transfer fee. He debuted off the bench in Chelsea's second-round win over Palmeiras last Friday in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, and in his first start Tuesday required only 18 minutes to put his former club behind. He created the attack himself, winning the ball back quickly in midfield and quickly playing Pedro Neto down the right. Neto's low cross into the box was cleared only as far as João Pedro at the edge of the box, where he took two quick touches before bending a brilliant right-footed finish beyond Fábio and into the top right corner. The finish on his second score in the 56th minute was even better. After reaching Enzo Fernández's outlet ball down the left, João Pedro dribbled into the left side of the box, cut back across one Fluminense defender to improve his shooting angle, then fired in another ferocious strike that caught the underside of the crossbar on its way into Fábio's goal. Between those tallies, Fluminense saw two crucial chances break against them later in the first half. In the 26th minute, Chelsea defender Marc Cucurella slid to clear Hércules' effort off the goal line with Robert Sánchez beaten. In the 36th, referee Francois Letexier overruled his own penalty decision following a video review, deciding after consulting replay that Trevoh Chalobah's arm had been in a natural position next to his body.
