This Wednesday, Palmeiras makes its debut in the Campeonato Brasileiro against Atlético-MG, kicking off its journey in pursuit of its 13th title in the competition. The last time Verdão was crowned champion of the tournament was in 2023 and, despite the recent title, only seven players from the current squad were present on that occasion.
Of the 27 athletes that make up the alviverde team this season, only Marcelo Lomba, Murilo, Piquerez, Raphael Veiga, Flaco López, and Gustavo Gómez were Brazilian champions with Verdão.
In addition to the 2023 title, they also took part in winning the 2022 Brasileirão, the club’s 11th. Among this select group, Gustavo Gómez stands out, as he was also present in the squad that won the tournament in 2018, making him the only three-time Brazilian champion in the squad.
Besides the titles, Palmeiras has been consistently performing well in the Campeonato Brasileiro. In the last 10 editions, the club finished among the top three in nine, failing to do so only in 2020.
If they win the competition this year, Verdão would also stand alone as the team with the most titles in the tournament in the points system era, with five. At the moment, the team is tied with Flamengo and Corinthians with four trophies each.
