According to Brazilian media reports, Vasco da Gama's 18-year-old forward, André Fernandes, entered the field holding a 6-month-old baby, and the scene went viral on social media.

Photos of Messi bathing Yamal on the eve of the World Cup final had gone viral online, and now there's a "remake." Last Friday (28th), before the first leg of the Brazilian U20 League final at São Januário Stadium, André walked onto the field holding 6-month-old Samuel. Samuel became a little uncomfortable at one point and tried to cry, so André comforted him.

"I said I would save this photo. Just like the photo of Messi and Yamal. By the time André joins the national team, Samuel will be about the right age. I think it's still in time!" said Giovana Resende, Samuel's mother and a physical medicine and rehabilitation doctor.

The footage quickly spread on social media, and netizens began to wonder about the behind-the-scenes details.

André said: "I've never walked onto the field with such a small child in a match before. I completely forgot about the final at the time, I just wanted to make sure he was safe. It was too noisy, too loud for a little baby. I told him to calm down, not to cry, everything was fine. He started to cry a little in my arms, and I got nervous, but I still tried to make him feel safe."

André hopes to overturn the 0-1 first-leg defeat and help Vasco win the Brazilian U20 League championship.

Samuel has been surrounded by his family's Vasco sentiment since birth. Pedro said that he inherited his father's love for the club, and his father passed away when he was 1 year old, so it was impossible for his son to support another team. Even before the parents knew the baby's gender, Vasco clothes were already prepared at home.

Pedro is a pilot and a childhood friend of Vasco U20 coach Matheus Curupeds. It was during the team's season-long journey that he suggested having Samuel participate on the day of the final. Giovana revealed more details in an interview with ge, stating that André's care for the baby made the whole family very happy.

Giovana said: "This was all discussed in advance. Matheus told us beforehand that he would enter with André. We were especially happy, he's the star of the team. André picked up Samuel as soon as he arrived and asked us how best to hold him. He was always gentle and particularly careful with Samuel."

This was Samuel's first time entering a stadium, and even his family didn't expect this moment to be seen by so many people.

Giovana said: "We didn't know if it would be broadcast on TV, or if anyone would take a picture. But when we saw him stroking and comforting Samuel, I said: 'Wow, this is so beautiful.' He was really gentle."

During the match, the couple realized the scene had been filmed. Before long, the footage spread on social media. The couple even joked on social media, comparing the scene to the famous photo of Messi bathing Yamal.

As the footage continues to spread, attention has now returned to the final itself. Vasco will play away against Palmeiras in São Paulo on September 5th,(CEST). Vasco must overturn the first-leg defeat to win their first title at this level in club history. André emphasized the team's preparation and expressed confidence in winning the championship.

André said: "We will go into the second leg with great focus. We have been training hard since the beginning of the year, and this championship is our dream. Tomorrow will be a special day for everyone, God willing."

While the photo of Samuel continues to go viral, André has also refocused his attention on the field. He hopes to continue playing for Vasco, helping the team win championships, and also aims to join the Brazilian national team and play in Europe.

André said: "I want to continue wearing this weighty jersey and win many championships, such as the Brazilian National League, the Copa do Brasil, the Copa Libertadores, and even the Club World Cup, if God wills. I also want to play in Europe, for Barcelona, Arsenal, where there are the highest technical and physical standards of the best players in the world."
