Lucas: Toughest year, but vows top return to São Paulo | OneFootball

The year 2025 is definitely over for São Paulo, after their participation in the Brasileirão, where they finished in 8th place. It is a time for reflection, analysis, and promises, as Lucas Moura did after what he called the ‘most difficult season of his career’.

After striker Calleri took to social media to express himself and vent, it was Lucas’s turn to use the internet this Monday (8) for his final thoughts on the tricolor year and a promise to work hard to come back strong.

“Another season comes to an end, and this one, 2025, certainly wasn’t what I imagined. On the contrary, it was, without a doubt, the most challenging and difficult season of my career. The injury in March changed my year, and that’s when my fight began. The recovery has been much slower, tougher, and more complex than any of us imagined.

This period is forcing me to face my limits and adjust my processes. It’s been a huge trial, but it won’t defeat me! The GOD I serve is greater than any problem! And the focus is clear: to return in 2026 at my highest level, the level I demand of myself. No shortcuts, no outside expectations, but with a lot of hard work, consistency, and daily discipline.

I am grateful to GOD for another completed season. Regardless of anything, He sustained me, He brought me this far, He is my foundation! I want to sincerely thank everyone who is supporting me and rooting for my recovery, thank you very much.

GOD bless you all! See you in 2026. São Paulo is a Feeling,” posted Lucas Moura on his Instagram.

The number 7 for São Paulo suffered from a serious problem in his right knee, which began after the semifinal loss to Palmeiras in the Paulistão, back in March. On the 29th of that month, the club announced trauma to the right knee of their star, which sidelined him for ten matches.

From that point on, there were months of frustrated and premature attempts at a comeback, which never fully materialized. Finally, in November, he was sidelined for good due to the endless pain in his right knee, which still hasn’t been resolved by the end of the season. He missed 36 games due to physical problems.

The last medical update released by the club, on Saturday (6), reported that after medication was applied to the painful area in his right knee, the attacking midfielder continues treatment and is also doing muscle strengthening and motor control work with physiotherapy. As reported by AVANTE MEU TRICOLOR, Lucas gave up part of his vacation to continue treatment at the Barra Funda training center.
