The eight years spent during the most successful era in the club’s history have made Gómez the foreign player with the most titles and the one who has represented Verdão the most. More than that, he is the captain who has lifted the most trophies in Palmeiras’ rich history, with 13.

The goal for the second half of the season is clear: increase that tally to 16. If that happens, Palmeiras will have crowned a magical 2026, which began with winning the Campeonato Paulista.

Winning the Brasileirão, Copa do Brasil, and Libertadores in the same year would be unprecedented and could elevate Gómez to the status of the greatest idol in the club’s history.

And the Paraguayan’s contributions toward that go beyond defensive toughness and solidity. The captain often solves Palmeiras’ problems in attack as well. And it is not just about an attacking instinct, but rather the PUMA spirit that makes him a constant threat to any opponent.

Time has taught us never to doubt Gustavo Gómez. Lifting trophies is El Capitán’s greatest quality. Which one will be next?
