No way: São Paulo 2025 match Telê Santana’s 1992 record after loss | OneFootball

At least four out of five fans who chose São Paulo as their favorite club in the 1990s have an obvious inspiration: the conquest of the first world title by the 1992 squad, led by Raí and captained by Telê Santana.

That said, it seems unimaginable that this year's squad could bear any resemblance to one of the greatest teams in Tricolor's history. But that's what's happening, according to a survey by our partner Alexandre Giesbrecht, from TRICOLOR NOTES (learn more about the project by clicking here).

With the 1-0 defeat to Ceará last Monday (29), São Paulo reached the dishonorable mark of four consecutive stumbles. And without scoring a single goal.

This kind of situation is relatively rare in São Paulo's history. And it has only happened for the third time. The first was in 1936, when the series reached six games. And the other... Well, the other was precisely in 1992, with one of the greatest squads in Tricolor's history.

São Paulo went four consecutive games without scoring goals for the first time since May 2019, when it drew goalless with Bahia, lost twice to the same opponent and another to Corinthians, always by 1-0.

Four consecutive losses have only happened 16 times in the club's history, and a streak like this hasn't happened since September 2022.

Furthermore, São Paulo didn't score goals in two consecutive games at Morumbi for the first time since August 2023, when it drew 0-0 with Bahia and lost to Atlético-MG by 2-0.

However, two consecutive home losses without scoring goals hadn't happened since November 2019, when Fluminense (2-0) and Athletico-PR (1-0) emerged victorious.
