Aníbal Moreno’s busy month at Palmeiras, targets Libertadores spot | OneFootball

This month was full of contrasting emotions for Aníbal Moreno. From the weight of being sent off in a decisive match to the joy of being praised by his teammates in the Palmeiras locker room, the athlete showed how quickly football can transform a player’s environment.

Reserved and a man of few words in his daily life, the Argentine surprised everyone by speaking up in the locker room after the victory over River Plate in the Libertadores quarterfinals. Despite his shyness, his words about the importance of the triumph resonated positively among the squad, who did not hesitate to celebrate his attitude.

The episode marked a turning point for the player, who had been facing criticism after his decisive sending off in the defeat to Corinthians in the second leg of the Copa do Brasil round of 16. Within the group, however, confidence in his football never wavered—and the collective celebration made it clear how much he is valued internally.

The remainder of the season will be another opportunity for the Argentine to confirm this comeback.

What now?

Palmeiras returns to the field next Wednesday (24th) in a match valid for the quarterfinals of the Conmebol Libertadores. Verdão won the first leg 2–1 in Argentina.
