Making his second straight World Cup appearance for Brazil, Paquetá repeatedly displayed his faith while playing for the Premier League’s West Ham United. He once took the pitch alongside two of his sons, who wore “Glory to God” jerseys, and used sign language to declare Jesus as “the only Lord and savior” after scoring a goal. Paquetá was also baptized in his own swimming pool by Flamengo teammate Pedro Guilherme in 2025.
