Romero taunts São Paulo after Sudamericana exit, recalling Corinthians days | OneFootball

Ángel Romero, formerly of Corinthians, taunted São Paulo after Boca Juniors reached the Copa Sudamericana semi-finals, eliminating São Paulo 2-1 on aggregate at Morumbis on Tuesday.

According to Meu Timao, the Paraguayan marked the result with an Instagram carousel that included a screenshot of a Google search for "Normal, significado em português", a nod to the catchphrase he used about meetings with São Paulo during his Corinthians spell.

In 2023, still at Corinthians, he had teased the rivals after a win at Morumbis, saying things were back to normal.

Romero faced São Paulo 20 times for Corinthians, recording eight wins, five draws and seven defeats. He scored four goals against them, his second highest tally versus any opponent for the club.

His most emblematic strikes came in 2015 when a reserve-heavy Corinthians side thrashed São Paulo 6-1 at the Neo Química Arena. Romero scored twice and also won a penalty in that landmark derby.

A recent Corinthians idol, he made 377 appearances, scoring 67 goals and providing 36 assists. His six honours include the Brazilian league titles in 2015 and 2017, the Paulista crowns in 2017, 2018 and 2025, and the 2025 Copa do Brasil.
