Weverton eyes historic milestone for Palmeiras in Choque-Rei clash | OneFootball

This Sunday’s Choque-Rei at Morumbis could mark a special chapter in Weverton’s career with Palmeiras. The goalkeeper is just one win away from becoming, on his own, the player with the most victories for Verdão in the history of the Brazilian Championship.

Currently, Weverton has 133 wins, the same number as forward Dudu (Eduardo Pereira Rodrigues), who shares the top spot with him. Another victory would put the number 21 shirt at the very top of the ranking.

This season’s campaign highlights the significance of the achievement. In this edition of the Brasileirão, Weverton has played in 23 out of Palmeiras’ 24 matches, with an impressive record: 16 wins, three draws, and only four losses.

If he beats São Paulo, the goalkeeper will not only help the team in the fight for the lead but will also make history at the club in the national tournament. In the last round, Alviverde defeated Vasco at Allianz Parque. With this result, they took second place with 52 points and continue to chase leaders Flamengo, who have 55.

Check out the ten players with the most victories for Palmeiras in the Brasileirão:

1st: Dudu (Eduardo Pereira Rodrigues) / Weverton (133 wins) 3rd: Emerson Leão (112 wins) 4th: Ademir da Guia (109 wins) 5th: Gustavo Gómez (107 wins) 5th: Dudu / Raphael Veiga (100 wins) 8th: Mayke (97 wins) 9th: Marcos Rocha (95 wins) 10th: Zé Rafael (94 wins)
