After the defeat suffered by Palmeiras with a score of 4 to 0 against Novorizontino last Tuesday, the walls of Allianz Parque were found vandalized on Wednesday morning. Phrases like “Abel, has the magic ended?” and “Leila, your business is stealing” were written on the walls of the ticket office located on Rua Palestra Itália.

Despite the protest, the walls were already repaired on Wednesday morning, and the graffiti marks were covered.

All the phrases written on the wall

“2025 again”

“Where's the planning?”

“Abel, has the magic ended?”

“Leila, your business is stealing”

“Shameless team”

“SPAlmeiras”

The criticisms targeted the management, the coach, and the team. This was the biggest defeat for Palmeiras under Abel Ferreira's command.

Biggest defeat in the last 10 years

This was not only the biggest defeat of the Abel Ferreira era but also the club's biggest setback in the last 10 years. Palmeiras hadn't lost by a four-goal difference since 2015, when Marcelo Oliveira's team was defeated 5 to 1 by Chapecoense at Arena Condá, on October 4, 2015.

“A hard blow”

Abel Ferreira spoke after the defeat and stated that the team did not compete in the match. “Yes, it's a hard blow, perhaps the biggest defeat since I've been here. I'll end as I started this interview. When we are a competitive team, we are prepared to beat any team in the world. When we don't compete, as was the case today, we can lose to a team from the fifth division, which is what happened today.”
