Gabriel Barbosa, the Brazilian forward who was one of the most talented players in the world during his time at Flamengo, has passed away at the age of 42. The club's president, Fernando Guedes, confirmed the news on Twitter.

Barbosa was known for his speed and agility as he played alongside some of the greatest players of all time. He was also a key player in helping Flamengo to win the Copa Libertadores several times throughout his career. He was a key member of the team that won the title in 2018 and helped them reach the final of the competition.

Barbosa had been suffering from injuries throughout his career but it was only recently that he had suffered a serious injury that forced him to retire from football. His death comes just two months after he celebrated his 40th birthday with Flamengo.

The passing of Gabriel Barbosa is a huge loss for the club and the fans alike. It will be hard to find a replacement for the player who helped Flamengo to win many titles over the years. However, we can hope that other players like Paulo Preto or Thiago Alcantara will step up and fill the void left by Barbosa.

In conclusion, Gabriel Barbosa was a true legend of Brazilian football and his passing is a huge loss for the club and the fans. We wish him a peaceful burial and hope that someone else can take his place and help Flamengo to achieve more success in the future.
