São Paulo exit Libertadores with worst ever home record | OneFootball

Although São Paulo remained unbeaten for much of the time, their campaign in the 2025 Copa Libertadores was far from being considered solid and consistent. And the reason this season is counted among the club’s negative trajectories was their performance at Morumbi.

In the five home games played in this year’s edition of the main South American competition, Tricolor won only one.

This is the second campaign in São Paulo’s Libertadores history with the fewest home victories, ahead of only 1978, when the team drew one and lost two.

The 40% point yield for São Paulo at Morumbi during this Libertadores represents the third worst in the club’s history, ahead of only 2019 (33.3%) and 1978 (16.7%).

If we consider only the 11 campaigns in which Tricolor played at least five times at home, then 2025 becomes the worst, well behind the 53.3% achieved in 2021, also under the command of Hernán Crespo.

In two of those campaigns (2005 and 2008), the team had a 100% record, in addition to four others that had fewer matches.

The series against LDU in this year’s quarterfinals was also just the third time in its history that São Paulo finished a Libertadores knockout stage without scoring a single goal (the others were against Talleres in the preliminary round of 2019, and Universitario in the round of 16 in 2010).
