😂 Palmeiras goes full Darth Vader to mock their dominance over São Paulo | OneFootball

This Saturday (12), Palmeiras beat São Paulo 2-0 at Nubank Parque in matchday 27 of the 2026 Brasileirão.

Just a few minutes after the derby win, Verdão’s social media admin posted a video mocking their São Paulo rivals.

Actually, not rivals. According to Palmeiras fans, the Choque-Rei has already become a case of "parenthood."

The video is a parody of the classic scene from the film "Star Wars: Episode V — The Empire Strikes Back," in which Darth Vader reveals that he is Luke Skywalker’s father.

In this case, Darth Vader is dressed up as the "Pig" (Palmeiras’ mascot) and colored green (instead of black, associated with arch-rivals Corinthians).

And after the "paternity reveal," a screenshot appears on screen showing the results of the last seven derbies, with seven Palmeiras wins over São Paulo.

In fact, Verdão are now unbeaten in 13 matches against the Tricolor from Morumbi, with nine wins and four draws.

São Paulo’s last win in the Choque-Rei was a 2-1 victory on July 13, 2023, in the second leg of that year’s Copa do Brasil quarterfinals (3-1 on aggregate and qualification for the semifinals).

Jokes aside, the Choque-Rei has historically been very evenly matched, with 114 Palmeiras wins, 104 draws, and 110 São Paulo victories.

The classic meme of a São Paulo fan furious with the Tricolor players from a few years ago was also "brought back" by Palmeiras on social media.

Verdão also joked about a traditional banner displayed by São Paulo supporters at Morumbi, which read: "The day you no longer exist, I never want to smile again."

In the "green-and-white version," the MorumBIS stands show only the excerpt "I never want to smile again," recalling the seven straight defeats to Palmeiras.

Finally, Palmeiras said the "show is green-and-white in the Choque-Rei," whether at Nubank Parque or MorumBIS.

Both stadiums usually split their schedules between sporting events and music concerts.
