Luciano top scorer for São Paulo 3 years running, leads assists too | OneFootball

Year in, year out, Luciano is criticized at São Paulo. And he keeps piling up goals for the club, now reaching the mark of 102. This season, the striker scored 17 goals and was once again, for the third consecutive time, the team’s top scorer of the year.

In 2023, Luciano was the team’s top scorer with 15 goals, in 2024 with 18, one more than this year. The number 10 is also the player in the squad who has scored the most for the club, with 102 balls in the net.

In the Brasileirão, of course, he was Tricolor’s top scorer, with nine goals, ahead of the five scored by André Silva, Tapia, and Ferreirinha in the tournament.

And Luciano wasn’t just a finisher in 2025, but also a provider. Alongside Enzo Díaz, he was the top assist provider of the season, with seven assists in total. In terms of just the Brasileirão, he had four, compared to five from the Argentine full-back, who led this stat in the national tournament.

Thus, with 17 goals and seven assists in the season, Luciano was the player with the most direct goal involvements for Tricolor, with 24 in total. The closest was André Silva, with 19 (14 goals and five assists).

Loved and hated, criticized and applauded, Luciano ends a year that was far from good for São Paulo, but ended up taking on the lead role in attack with the various absences in the sector, such as center-forwards Calleri, André Silva, and even the promising Ryan Francisco.

He missed decisive goals, yes, in other tournaments like the Libertadores, played poorly and often disappeared on the pitch, but also showed he is still one of the best names in São Paulo’s attacking power. The inconsistency throughout the year, however, as with the whole team, meant Luciano’s season wasn’t quite worthy of celebration. But, once again, he was the team’s top scorer of the year.
