The year that seems endless for São Paulo fans did not bring great memories on the field. Of the four competitions they participated in this year, no titles, not even close, in fact.
And AVANTE MEU TRICOLOR wanted to know from São Paulo fans what was the biggest disappointment on the field in this challenging 2025 season, through a poll conducted on our YouTube channel.
With a large majority of the votes, 66% said the humiliating defeat of Tricolor in the Copa Libertadores to Ecuadorian LDU at Morumbi was the loss that São Paulo fans suffered the most, and still suffer from.
After losing 2-0 away, São Paulo went full of expectations to their stadium, completely packed with fans, but disappointed and fell once again, now 1-0, thus saying goodbye to another Libertadores contest in the quarter-finals.
In second place in the AMT poll was the elimination on penalties to Athletico-PR in the Copa do Brasil, with 20% of the votes from participating São Paulo fans.
After a 2-1 victory at home, São Paulo lost 1-0 in Paraná and took the decision of the national cup quarter-finals to penalties. They were embarrassed, missed all their shots, and lost the tiebreaker 3-0 to Athletico, adding another humiliation.
In third place, with 12% of the choices, was the campaign with more losses than wins in the Brasileirão, where São Paulo finished in 8th place, securing only a spot in the next Copa Sudamericana.
Occupying the last position among the biggest disappointments of 2025 was the elimination to Palmeiras in the Paulistão semifinal, with only 2% of the voters.
