Gabriel Barbosa Almeida
Gabriel Barbosa Almeida, known as Gabigol, attacks space and times his runs behind the back line to finish moves for Santos on loan from Cruzeiro. His career arc includes a high-profile move to Inter Milan and the Olympic Gold in 2016. He presses high to win possession. At Flamengo in 2019 he helped seal the Copa Libertadores with late strikes. He has been a returnee to Santos on loan from Cruzeiro in 2026, scoring on debut. Gabigol links play with one-touch layoffs and checks short then spins in behind. His left-foot finishing and positioning threaten the back post.
