Squad18 Jan 2027

Victor Gabriel breaks a bone — 30 days out

Brutal, unambiguous and, for all the horror of the moment, usually less career-shaped than the ligament everybody fears more. 30 days, a clean timeline, and a return date somebody can actually plan around.

Squad18 Jan 2027

Joaquín Piquerez falls out with a teammate over standards

The oldest argument in any dressing room and the only one that is genuinely about football: one man thinks another is not putting enough in. It is also the row a manager privately does not mind having happened.

Squad18 Jan 2027

Tempers go at Palmeiras

Alexander Barboza was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

Match14 Oct 2026

Palmeiras through in the cup

A 2‑0 win over Bragantino, and the draw for the next round can be watched with some interest for once.

Match19 Oct 2026

Palmeiras refuse to drop out of the race

Position 1, 27 points, and the result everyone checks first is now theirs. The word is still not being said around the ground, which is how you know everyone is thinking it.

Squad19 Oct 2026

Joaquín Piquerez says Palmeiras went back on their word

“I was told what my role would be, and I signed on that basis. It has not happened.” A grievance with a date attached is the hardest kind to settle.

Player ratings19 Oct 2026

Nobody could get near Paulinho

Successful dribbles: 31. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Match17 Oct 2026

Nobody wants to play Palmeiras right now

3 wins in a row changes how opponents warm up: quieter, more glances across. Runs end, everybody knows that — but nobody in this dressing room is planning for it.

Squad19 Oct 2026

Words at Palmeiras training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Paulinho is at the centre of it, and the squad will now find out whether the standard rises or the pair of them simply stop speaking.

Match17 Oct 2026

Jhon Arias sends Palmeiras past Sport Recife

It finished 1‑0, and it was Jhon Arias’s afternoon: on the scoresheet when it mattered, and the reason the points belong to Palmeiras.

Squad19 Oct 2026

Bruno Fuchs in a row with a teammate

It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Palmeiras this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Player ratings19 Oct 2026

Jhon Arias in the eights

A performance of 8.00 does not come along often, and when it does the rest of the team becomes scenery. He was magnificent.

Nobody could get near Andreas Pereira

Successful dribbles: 26. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Palmeiras supporters have found a favourite in Allan

There is a particular warmth a ground reserves for a 22-year-old it feels ownership of. Allan has it now, and everything he does for the rest of his time here will be measured against the goodwill he was handed for free.

Match10 Oct 2026

Palmeiras find a way past Vasco da Gama

Vasco da Gama made Palmeiras work for it, but the scoreboard read 2‑0 at the end and the table does not ask how.

Player ratings12 Oct 2026

Allan was on a different afternoon to everybody else

8.17. There are performances a supporter describes to somebody who was not there and cannot quite convey; this was one, and the number does not help either.

Squad12 Oct 2026

Palmeiras count the cost of losing Thiago

18 days, the scan says, and scans are kinder than reality. The fixtures in that window have just become somebody else’s job.

Match18 Sep 2026

A statement in Europe from Palmeiras

3‑0 against Lanús, and a performance that will change how the rest of the competition talks about this club. Reputations in continental football are built in single evenings and this was one.

Match19 Sep 2026

Whatever happens, Palmeiras do not lose

12 games unbeaten now. Some were earned and some were survived, but a habit is forming — and habits are the hardest thing in football to play against.

Player ratings21 Sep 2026

Both of them Paulinho's — 8.14

2 goals, and the second was the one that settled it. Marked 8.14, and he could have had a third with better luck at the near post.

Nobody could get near Andreas Pereira

Successful dribbles: 27. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Player ratings21 Sep 2026

Vitor Roque, 21, plays like he has been here for years — 7.69

A mark of 7.69 means one thing beside a twenty-nine-year-old's name and something else entirely beside a 21-year-old's. Nobody at the ground needed telling which this was.

Squad21 Sep 2026

Tempers go at Palmeiras

Vitor Roque was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

The terraces21 Sep 2026

The crowd has taken to Vitor Roque

At 21 he is being sung about by people twice his age, which is an affection a signing has to earn over years and a local kid gets for turning up. It is also the hardest thing in football to live up to.

Player ratings21 Sep 2026

One of those days for José Manuel López

There is a version of this player everybody suspected was in there, and on this evidence it is. 8.14, and no argument anywhere in the ground.

Squad21 Sep 2026

Words at Palmeiras training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Maurício is at the centre of it, and the squad will now find out whether the standard rises or the pair of them simply stop speaking.

Squad31 Aug 2026

Carlos Miguel decides it from twelve yards

4 kept out in the shoot-out, and a stadium that will still be describing them in twenty years. A goalkeeper only needs one of these to be remembered forever.

Player ratings31 Aug 2026

Nobody could get near Vitor Roque

Successful dribbles: 43. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Match26 Aug 2026

Palmeiras march on in the cup

Cruzeiro are out and Palmeiras go through, 0‑0 the final word. The bracket opens up a little, and everyone allows themselves a look at it.

Match29 Aug 2026

8 unbeaten for Palmeiras

Hard to beat is not the same as winning, but 8 matches without defeat is a foundation Palmeiras did not have in the autumn.

Squad31 Aug 2026

Tempers go at Palmeiras

Bruno Fuchs was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

Squad31 Aug 2026

The manager makes an example of Gustavo Gómez

“If you cannot run for the shirt, somebody else will wear it.” No name was used and none was needed; every player in that room knew who it was for.

Match29 Aug 2026

Palmeiras see off Grêmio

Three points for Palmeiras, 1‑0 the final word against Grêmio in a contest settled by the finer margins.

Player ratings31 Aug 2026

The kick that got away from Emiliano Martínez

Twelve yards, a goalkeeper guessing, and it still did not go in. He will take the next one, and every soul in the ground will hold their breath.

Maurício falls out with a teammate over standards
