Barreal eyes Corinthians derby, recalls last clash fondly | OneFootball

Santos and Corinthians meet this Thursday for the first Clássico Alvinegro of 2026, in the fourth round of the Campeonato Paulista. A standout for Peixe in the last clash between the teams, Barreal commented on the importance of a victory in the derby and recalled the last encounter between the clubs, in which he scored a stunning goal in the 3-1 win over Timão at Vila Belmiro.

“We are recovering, but we have to keep working. Winning the derby is very important for us, so we are working on that. We have good memories (from the last derby). I think we have to do the same job we did in that game, at Vila Belmiro. It was a very good match for us, and we’ll try to do the same thing tomorrow,” he said.

Santos’ Absences

Midfielder Gustavo Henrique, who suffered a muscle injury in the adductor of his right thigh, has already started physiotherapy treatment and will be unavailable for Vojvoda. Forward Tiquinho Soares and midfielder Gabriel Bontempo are still undergoing physiotherapy for muscle injuries and are also out of the derby.
