So, that’s why I send a kiss and congratulations to all of them there and, with the expectation that on Sunday we’ll say goodbye to this historic, wonderful, and supernatural season -, said Rafael Guanaes in a press conference.

Because of this, the squad led by Rafael Guanaes has already made history for the club.

With no chance of being overtaken by Palmeiras, who were runners-up again, o Mais Querido is now the newest nine-time champion of the points-based tournament.
