Lucas: Toughest year, but promises top return to São Paulo | OneFootball

The year 2025 is definitely over for São Paulo, after participating in the Brasileirão, where they finished in 8th place. It's a time for reflections, analyses, and promises, as Lucas Moura did after the 'most difficult season of his career,' as the player himself stated.

After forward Calleri took to social media to express himself and vent, it was Lucas's turn to use the internet this Monday (8) for his final thoughts on the tricolor year and a promise of hard work to return in good form.

“End of another season, and this one, 2025, certainly was not what I imagined; on the contrary, it was undoubtedly the most challenging and difficult season of my career. The injury in March changed my year, and that's when my struggle began. The recovery is being much slower, harder, and more complex than we all imagined.

This period is forcing me to face my limits and adjust processes. It has been a great trial, but it will not defeat me! The GOD I serve is greater than any problem! And the focus is clear: to return in 2026 at my highest level, the level I demand of myself. No shortcuts, no external expectations, but with a lot of work, consistency, and daily discipline.

I am grateful to GOD for another completed season. Regardless of anything, He supported me, He brought me here, He is my foundation! I want to sincerely thank everyone who is supporting me and rooting for my recovery, thank you very much.

GOD bless you all! See you in 2026. São Paulo is Feeling,” posted Lucas Moura on his Instagram.

The São Paulo number 7 suffered from a serious problem in his right knee, which began after the semifinal loss to Palmeiras in the Paulistão, still in March. On the 29th of the month, the club announced trauma in the right knee of their star, which sidelined him for ten matches.

From then on, there were months of frustrated and premature attempts to return, which never fully materialized. Finally, in November, he was definitively sidelined due to the endless pains in his right knee, still unresolved by the end of the season. There were 36 games missed due to physical problems.

The last medical report released by the club on Saturday (6) stated that, after medication was applied to the painful area of the right knee, the attacking midfielder continues treatment and is also undergoing muscle strengthening and motor control work with physiotherapy. As reported by AVANTE MEU TRICOLOR, Lucas gave up part of his vacation to continue treatment at the CT in Barra Funda.
