Aníbal Moreno celebrates 100th appearance for Palmeiras: "Really happy" | OneFootball

Midfielder Aníbal Moreno reached 100 matches wearing the Palmeiras jersey, a milestone achieved in the goalless draw against Universitario (PER) at Allianz Parque, during the Libertadores.

In an interview with TV Palmeiras, the number 5 celebrated the achievement: “The truth is that it’s very difficult to reach this goal of 100 games at a big club like Palmeiras. I’m very happy. I’m also very focused, as we still have very important competitions ahead this season and we are fully committed to this work,” he commented.

Aníbal Moreno joined Palmeiras in January 2024. Since then, he has scored four goals and provided three assists in 101 matches for the Verdão.

Break for the FIFA International Window

The 26-year-old Argentine also spoke about the break for the FIFA International Window, considering it a good opportunity to improve preparations for the rest of the season.

“During FIFA dates, you can rest a bit, visit family, and clear your mind too. But we have a very tough match coming up in the season, so there’s no time to relax. We’re already back to work and focused on playing a great match against Inter and taking all three points,” he commented.

With the break for the FIFA International Window, the players called up by their national teams for the South American Qualifiers remain absent from Verdão’s training sessions.

Moreno highlighted the joy of his compatriot Flaco López, called up for the first time in his career, and celebrated Gustavo Gómez, captain of Paraguay, who secured a spot in the World Cup after 16 years of absence.

“About Flaco, it was his first call-up, he really wanted it and truly deserves it. He’s a great player, a great person, and we’re very happy because the Argentina National Team is one of the best in the world, the current world champion, and we’re very happy for him and hope he keeps it up. Gustavo Gómez too, he really wanted to take Paraguay to the World Cup, he always talked about it. Yesterday we were following the match and I’m very happy because he’s a great person, a great captain, and what he did with Paraguay is a motivation for all of us,” he concluded.
