Bobadilla hits 100 appearances in São Paulo win: "I hope for many more" | OneFootball

Damián Bobadilla reached an important milestone for São Paulo in the 1-0 victory over Coritiba last Wednesday at Couto Pereira, during the fourth round of the Brazilian Championship. The midfielder completed 100 games wearing the tricolor jersey.

An undisputed starter under Hernán Crespo, Bobadilla began the match on the bench, as the coach opted to field an alternative team. Nevertheless, the Paraguayan was brought on at the 38th minute of the second half, replacing Cauly.

The player highlighted the emotion of reaching the centenary milestone for São Paulo and expressed his hope that this number will continue to grow.

“Man, it's a lot of emotion to be here at this giant club. For me, it's an honor, 100 matches with this jersey is a pride. I hope there will be many more. Today, double joy because we won. We gave a beautiful victory to the fans who came to support us today,” said the player in a video released by the club on social media.

Bobadilla was signed by São Paulo in December 2023 after standing out at Cerro Porteño, in Paraguay. In his first season with the club, he fought for a spot in the midfield.

Last year, Bobadilla lost his place under former coach Luis Zubeldía, but regained prestige with the arrival of Crespo and secured his position as a starter.

This season, he has established himself as an important piece of the São Paulo team, with 12 games (nine as a starter), scoring two goals and providing one assist.

With the result, São Paulo reached 10 points and remained in second place in the Brazilian Championship, as Palmeiras also won in the round.
