São Paulo fans protest over loss of prominence in the Libertadores

The São Paulo fans took to social media to protest after the club lost its status as the Brazilian team with the most Libertadores titles. With Palmeiras and Flamengo qualifying for the 2025 final, one of them will reach their fourth title, surpassing the Tricolor, who will remain with three.

Reactions on social media

Fans expressed their frustration with São Paulo's situation in the Libertadores:

“Congratulations to everyone who destroyed São Paulo Futebol Clube in the last decade, we are no longer the Brazilian team with the most Libertadores.”

“The only thing left is the world treble, they killed São Paulo Futebol Clube.”

“The fans need to understand that it’s over. São Paulo will only go back to what it once was if there’s a drastic revolution inside the club. Today, São Paulo is just an ordinary team, that can get there, but that’s it.”

Decline and recent titles

São Paulo hasn’t won the Libertadores since 2005 and hasn’t won the Brasileirão since 2008. Since then, they have only collected four trophies:

🏆 Copa Sudamericana (2012) 🏆 Campeonato Paulista (2021) 🏆 Copa do Brasil (2023) 🏆 Supercopa do Brasil (2024).
