Flaco López matches best scoring year for Palmeiras, see stats | OneFootball

Flaco López is having his best season at Palmeiras. The team's top scorer in 2025, the striker reached 22 goals in 2025 after finding the net in the Choque Rei this Sunday (5), matching his tally from 2024.

However, the player equaled this mark in ten fewer matches than in 2024. The number 42 played 61 times last season, compared to 51 so far this season. The number of assists, however, is still lower: seven in 2024 and five in 2025.

The Argentine has become a key player for the team, especially since forming an attacking partnership with Vitor Roque: the duo has played 12 matches together, scoring 20 goals—ten each.

Flaco is fighting not only to stand alone as the top scorer of the year, needing just one more goal, but also, with two more, could become the striker with the best year in the Abel Ferreira era. That record currently belongs to Rony, who scored 23 goals in 2022.

Palmeiras could play up to 16 more matches this year if they reach the Libertadores final. The striker will definitely miss the next match, against Juventude, scheduled for next Saturday (11)—the Argentine has been called up to the Argentina national team for friendly matches. The postponed match is valid for the 12th round of the Brasileirão and will take place between Argentina's two friendlies.

The national team will face Venezuela next Friday (10), at 9pm (Brasília time), and Puerto Rico on the 13th, at 8pm (Brasília time). Both matches will take place in the United States.

This is the second consecutive call-up for the Palmeiras striker, who has yet to debut for the current world champions. Flaco was called up by Lionel Scaloni for the last two rounds of the Qualifiers but did not take the field. In addition to him, Anibal Moreno was also called up to debut for the world champions.
