Lucas silences doubters and takes centre stage again for São Paulo | OneFootball

After a very difficult 2025, Lucas Moura has finally rediscovered his best football this season. The forward is enjoying a positive streak, has become decisive again, and has regained his prominence at São Paulo.

The number 7 has been involved in four goals in the last five matches, starting in four of them. During this period, he found the net three times and provided one assist.

Lucas scored in the victories over Primavera (2-1, Paulista), Grêmio (2-0, Brasileiro), and Red Bull Bragantino (2-1, Paulista). In the 1-1 draw with Santos in Série A, it was his precise cross that allowed Calleri to get the better of Gabriel Brazão.

This good run of form helps to dispel the doubts that were hanging over the forward. At 33 years old, Lucas struggled with injuries throughout 2025 and started the current season under scrutiny from the fans.

Last year, he played only 26 matches for Tricolor, scoring five goals and providing one assist. Limited by problems with his right knee, he tried to return to the pitch but eventually needed surgery, missing the final stretch of the season.

Now, in 2026, he has already played 11 matches, scored three goals, and provided one assist.

With Lucas in top form, São Paulo managed to overcome off-field issues and advance to the semifinals of the Campeonato Paulista. In the Brasileirão, Tricolor is also showing solidity: they have earned seven points from their first three games in the competition.
