Brazil's Flamengo won the Recopa Sudamericana for the first time Wednesday night, beating Ecuador's Independiente del Valle 3-0 at the historic Maracanã stadium.

When Marília de Barros Silva heard reports that the widely popular Brazilian soccer club Flamengo was signing a player for almost 17 million euros ($18.6 million), she felt sadness — but also resentment.

Flamengo striker Gabriel Barbosa said Saturday he "followed his heart" by agreeing to join the reigning Brazilian and Copa Libertadores champions on a permanent deal from Inter Milan.
