Goalkeeper Carlos Miguel was the standout player for Palmeiras in the 3-0 victory over Atlético-MG. He was responsible for some great saves during the second half that ensured a clean sheet. Even with the result, the Verdão team saw Flamengo lift the Brazilian championship trophy. Carlos Miguel reflected on the club's performance in the competition and looked ahead to 2026.

“We know we made mistakes. We failed to pick up points in many games where it was important to do so. We need to be aware of that and keep a clear head. It's part of the process, it's a rebuilding phase, and we have to keep our heads up. We finished in second place, we fought until the end. We’ll try to get three more points. Our job is football, we live for this and we’ll go until the end,” he said to Premiere.
