Carlos Miguel celebrates Corinthians' Copa exit, sparking fan backlash

Former Corinthians goalkeeper Carlos Miguel, now playing for Palmeiras, posted an Instagram story on Thursday after his former club was eliminated from the Copa do Brasil. In the story he wrote “Classificados”, a message that many Corinthians supporters interpreted as a provocation, while Palmeiras fans welcomed the comment.

The elimination came after Palmeiras defeated Internacional 2‑1 at the Neo Química Arena, securing a place in the quarter‑finals despite a recent loss to Fortaleza. Miguel’s post, shared to his 900,000‑plus followers, reignited the rivalry between the two clubs and generated heated reactions on social media.
