Specifically, Fabio has surpassed Gianluigi Buffon to become the goalkeeper with the most clean sheets in official tournaments in history with 507 matches. In this tournament, Fabio helped Fluminense keep clean sheets twice. He helped his team hold Dortmund to a 0-0 draw and this morning, a similar draw with Mamelodi Sundowns.
The match just ended, Fabio and his teammates were pressed by Mamelodi Sundowns. The African team had 68% possession, 3 shots on target while Fluminense had 0. However, Fabio's excellent saves and luck (the ball hit the goalpost once) helped Fluminense preserve the result, winning a ticket to the next round.

Thiago Silva made a great assist, helping Fabio keep his net clean. |
At the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup, Fabio is also the oldest player. He is participating in the tournament when he is about to turn 45. Veteran Thiago Silva, despite being very old, is still 4 years younger than Fabio.
Fabio has collected 507 clean sheets in a long career spanning 1,375 official games. On average, he has kept a clean sheet in 38% of his appearances, a very impressive figure.
Fabio has another record on his horizon. He needs 14 more games to become the goalkeeper with the most appearances in history. The current record is held by the legendary Peter Shilton with 1,390 games. Perhaps in 2025, Fabio will conquer this historic milestone.
Fabio's rise helped Fluminense advance, and also helped Brazil "show off" at the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup. All four teams from the Samba country participating in the tournament passed the group stage.
Palmeiras trailed Inter Miami 2-0 until the 80th minute but still managed to equalise to take the top spot. Flamengo also topped the group and advanced to the next round, while Botafogo and Fluminense entered the round of 16 as runners-up.
