⚡ DEFINING MOMENTS

▲ 2022 · First strike in Qatar
On 5 December 2022 he opened the scoring inside seven minutes against South Korea in the round of 16, his maiden World Cup goal, as Brazil ran out 4-1 winners in their most fluent display of the tournament.
▲ 2022 · Stopped at the quarter-final
Four days later he started the quarter-final against Croatia, was kept quiet by a watchful Croatian defence and withdrawn on the hour. Brazil were eliminated on penalties after a 1-1 draw — the end of his only World Cup to date.

📜 CAREER TIMELINE

2017
Made his senior debut for Flamengo at sixteen, the standout product of the club's academy.
2018
Joined Real Madrid, where he would grow from raw winger into one of the side's defining attackers.
2022
Played his first World Cup in Qatar — four appearances, one goal, and a quarter-final exit.

THE ALMANAC SPEAKS
PROF. INKSWORTH:

A winger of frightening pace whose World Cup ledger, for now, reads four matches and a single goal. The tournament has not yet seen the best of him.

  • His one World Cup goal arrived against South Korea in the round of 16; the knockout rounds went no further for Brazil that year.
  • He carries a base 89 overall on the EA SPORTS FC 26 card, with a pace rating of 95 — among the quickest in the game.
  • Born in São Gonçalo in 2000, he reached the senior Brazil squad and a World Cup before his twenty-third birthday.
