Palmeiras joke about pitch, tease São Paulo: "Advantage is natural" | OneFootball

Palmeiras defeated São Paulo by 2 to 1 on Sunday night and advanced to the final of the Campeonato Paulista. With this result, they reached their 11th consecutive game unbeaten against Tricolor. Verdão took the opportunity to taunt their rival.

In one of their posts, Palmeiras made a parody of a São Paulo chant: “Ê, porcada! In Barueri, things get wild,” featuring Gobatto, the club’s mascot, sitting on the bench. The situation mimics one involving Lucas Moura, who was caught on the São Paulo bench after their quarterfinal qualification singing “Ê, porcada! In Morumbi, things get wild.”

The account also celebrated Palmeiras’ unbeaten record in Choque-Rei matches in Barueri. There have been three wins and one draw. Another jab was about the synthetic field used at Arena Barueri. This type of pitch has already been the subject of controversy involving clubs and players. Verdão also highlighted their long unbeaten streak.

“It doesn’t matter if the field is synthetic or not: our advantage is natural! We’ve reached the longest unbeaten run in Choque-Rei history for the green and white, with 11 straight games without losing to our rival,” the post said.

In addition, Verdão also took advantage of a moment from the match to take a jab at São Paulo and other rivals. During the Choque-Rei, a kite with the Corinthians symbol was thrown onto the pitch and later destroyed by fans in the stands.

The club created an illustration with kites bearing the crests of Palmeiras and Novorizontino rising, and those of São Paulo and Corinthians falling, alluding to the eliminations.

“Send it up high! I remain unbeaten in derbies this year. Now we’re off to the biggest challenge: the grand final!” they wrote.

Finally, Verdão also joked about the AC/DC concert, as the band played two shows at Morumbis last week: “And the soundtrack for the show in Barueri is: Back in Green – AC/DC (feat. Palmeiras).”
