How do you rate Bobadilla’s year at São Paulo? Vote! | OneFootball

In 2025, the Paraguayan Damián Bobadilla experienced his second season with São Paulo. An important midfielder and a pillar in the Paraguayan national team, the 24-year-old player had a regular year but notably improved after the arrival of coach Hernán Crespo in June.

Alongside Marcos Antônio, Bobadilla had his best moments this year. The duo gained strength under Crespo's scheme, who saw a great opportunity in the midfielders for the support of the formation he desired.

Moreover, in the final stretch of the Brazilian Championship, Bobadilla had an offensively important phase, which helped the team "not suffer" in the competition. In the last eight games of the tournament, the midfielder scored twice (against Bahia and Juventude) and provided an assist (against Internacional), resulting in three goal involvements.

Out of favor with Zubeldía

While he gained morale with Crespo, Bobadilla had a difficult end to the first semester with Zubeldía. In the final stretch of the coach's tenure at São Paulo, the Paraguayan lost his position as an undisputed starter.

In Zubeldía's last 20 games at São Paulo, Bobadilla was not used six times and started on the bench in ten opportunities.

In Paraguay

While the season at São Paulo had its ups and downs, it was a year of many joys for Paraguay. Being one of the main pieces of the national team, Bobadilla helped his country qualify for a World Cup after 16 years.

For Paraguay, there were eight games in 2025, with one goal scored and three assists. At São Paulo, on the other hand, there were 52 matches played, with four goals and three assists.
