Libertadores hero Breno Lopes set for special Palmeiras reunion | OneFootball

The scorer of Palmeiras' title-winning goal in the 2020 Libertadores, forward Breno Lopes, currently at Fortaleza, is looking forward to the reunion with his former club in the next round of the Brasileirão. Since his departure, the player has never faced Verdão on the field.

“It's always a special moment to meet Palmeiras again, where I was very happy. It will be a tough game, but we will go after the result,” he said.

With no space at Palmeiras, Breno Lopes was loaned to Fortaleza in April 2024 and was permanently bought in October of the same year.

Wearing the jersey of the São Paulo club, the forward played 167 official matches and scored 25 goals.

The match against Palmeiras, valid for the 24th round of Serie A, is scheduled for next Saturday (20th), at 9 PM (Brasília time), at Allianz Parque.

The author of Fortaleza's first goal in the 2-0 victory over Vitória last Saturday, Breno Lopes valued the team's win after six rounds without a victory in Serie A.

“This period without victories was bothering us a lot. Fortunately, we achieved a crucial result and we will go after more points to get out of this uncomfortable situation in the standings,” he said.

With the positive result, the team led by Martín Palermo reached 18 points on the table. With sixteen games remaining until the end of the competition, the team, currently in 19th place, is looking to climb out of the lower part of the standings.

“We are working and fighting hard. I am sure we will achieve our goal. The group has already shown that it is strong and this turbulent moment will pass. We are all focused on the same goal,” concluded Breno Lopes.
