Corinthians fans taunt São Paulo with mosaic ahead of the derby | OneFootball

The Corinthians fans taunted São Paulo just before the Majestoso this Thursday, for the 34th round of the Brazilian Championship. The fans raised a 3D mosaic in the East Sector of the Neo Química Arena during the players' entrance onto the field.

The mosaic featured a musketeer, the Timão mascot, showcasing the achievements of the black and white team over their rival, such as the 6-1 thrashing in 2015, and the titles of the 2013 South American Recopa and the 1990 Brasileirão.

What is at stake in the classic?

The classic between Corinthians and São Paulo pits two teams against each other that are fighting for a spot in the 2026 Libertadores. The Tricolor is in ninth place on the leaderboard, with 45 points, eight away from the G7. Timão, on the other hand, is in 14th place, three points behind their Morumbi rival. It is, therefore, a direct confrontation.

Dorival Júnior's team had their rise halted in the last few matches and comes from two consecutive defeats. The team seeks a reaction in the final stretch of the Brasileirão. Meanwhile, Hernán Crespo's squad also hasn't won in two rounds, with one draw and one loss, and defends a streak of six games without losing to Corinthians.
