Gustavo Gómez: This season a lesson, 2026 will be better for Palmeiras

The 2025 season for Palmeiras has come to an end, and the club finished as runners-up in three competitions. Verdão was beaten by Corinthians in the Campeonato Paulista and was surpassed by Flamengo in both the Libertadores and the Brasileirão.

Hear from the Captain!

The first player to speak out on social media about the season was the captain, Gustavo Gómez. Once again one of Palmeiras’ standout players, the Paraguayan said it was an intense year and highlighted the squad’s restructuring process and the Club World Cup.

2025 was a season of great learning for all of us. We knew it would be an unusual year for Palmeiras, with the Club World Cup and a major squad overhaul, and despite the obstacles, we managed to fight for the titles. Unfortunately, we didn’t win any, but we hold our heads high and remain hungry. We know our potential and I am convinced that 2026 will be a much better year. Big clubs thrive on achievements, and we want to have another historic season for the club, always counting on the support of the alviverde fans.

The number 15 for Verdão also mentioned the moment he experienced with his national team:

With my national team, it was also an intense year and, with the help of my teammates, the coaching staff, and everyone dedicated to the team, we managed to take Paraguay to the World Cup after a long time. It was an indescribable pride, we fulfilled a childhood dream, and next year we want to achieve even more. Thank you to everyone who has supported me throughout the year. Now it’s time to recharge our energy and sharpen our spears. Great achievements await us.

What now?

Verdão has wrapped up the 2025 season and will only return to the field in 2026, at the start of the Campeonato Paulista, on January 11. Next season, the Brazilian football calendar will be different, with fewer dates in the state championship, a new format for the Paulistão, and the FIFA World Cup.
