Palmeiras see squad fall apart at season’s crucial moment | OneFootball

Palmeiras has gotten itself into a tough spot in the Brasileirão. Abel Ferreira's team saw Flamengo open a four-point lead in the standings, with only three rounds left in the competition. If everything goes wrong next Tuesday (25), the club from Rio could secure the national title one game before the grand final of the Libertadores.

Missing a little bit of everything!

Abel Ferreira's team experienced a roller coaster in 2025, but at one point it seemed like a smooth ride, without many loops and bumps, but with lots of excitement. The goals came like a descent, hands up, butterflies in the stomach, and guaranteed screams.

However, in the last matches, Verdão saw this smooth ride become far from what was expected and what had been happening. With little creativity and many crosses (98 in the last three matches), Palmeiras saw Flamengo take the lead in the Brasileirão.

And if we base it on time, the same time that doesn't pass while waiting for November 29, Palmeiras hasn't scored in five and a half hours of play.

And now?

With the defeat, Verdão is in a complicated situation in the standings. Still in the Brasileirão, Palmeiras returns to the field next Tuesday (25) against Grêmio. On Saturday (29), they face Flamengo in the grand final of the Libertadores.
