Palmeiras can celebrate, as it is the new Brazilian Football Champion for the 2022 season. And Palmeiras won the title without having to enter the field in the round of the week, which is even better. The confirmation of the conquest came with the defeat of Internacional to América-MG in Belo Horizonte.
With the mark of 74 points and with few rounds to the end of the championship, Alviverde can no longer be reached mathematically by its opponents. Now, the team can dedicate themselves to the next matches with peace of mind, without the pressure of needing positive results to guarantee the title.
The Greatest National Champion
After today’s victory, it is worth mentioning that Palmeiras took the lead in the ranking of Brazilian teams with the most national titles, now adding a total of 15 achievements (11 in the Brasileirão and 4 in the Copa do Brasil). Previously, Palmeiras shared this position with Flamengo, both with 14 national titles. However, today’s victory allowed Alviverde to overtake the team from Rio and establish itself as the Brazilian team with the most national titles.
A season of undeniable numbers
Palmeiras ended the season with impressive numbers, leading in points, victories, less defeats, more goals scored and fewer goals conceded. It is undeniable that the results obtained were exceptional and that the team demonstrated an undeniable performance throughout the championship. Adding these results to previous achievements, it is clear how coach Abel Ferreira is increasingly consolidated in the history of the club and national football. Under Ferreira, Alviverde won several important titles in recent years, including twice in a row the Copa Libertadores da América. These achievements, combined with the exceptional performance in the current season, further consolidate the figure of Abel Ferreira as one of the great coaches of today.
featured players
Specific players, as well as coach Abel Ferreira, made valuable contributions without which Palmeiras would not have been able to win the title. Goalkeeper Weverton, the defense duo Gómez and Murilo, Dudu and Gustavo Scarpa were key players in the team. In particular, Scarpa played a crucial role with 10 assists and 17 direct participations in goal, making him a strong candidate to win the Ballon d’Or and the CBF award for best player in the league. It’s worth mentioning that Scarpa is in his farewell year, making his performance all the more notable.
