The Corinthians Sentinel
Match28 Nov 2026
Corinthians cannot stop winning
7 wins on the spin now, and the question has changed from whether the run ends to who ends it. Confidence like this cannot be bought; it has to be earned exactly this way.

Favela: that is not what I was promised
“Things were said to me before I signed. I am not going to repeat them, but I remember all of them.” Corinthians have not answered, which is an answer of sorts.
Match28 Nov 2026
Corinthians are at home on the road
5 straight away victories. Sides that win away are usually sides that can defend and can counter, and the table has begun to reflect what those journeys have earned.

Yuri Alberto 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 Corinthians this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Memphis Depay is in the form of his life
A season average of 7.32 with 10 goals behind it. Opponents have started planning around him, which is the sincerest compliment football pays.

A masterclass from Rodrigo Garro
Marked 8.51 — the sort of number a correspondent writes down twice to be sure. Everything he tried came off, and what he did not try was not worth trying.

A row about effort at Corinthians
Somebody said out loud what several people thought about how hard another man trains, and Matheus Bidu was in the middle of it. The one dressing-room argument that is genuinely about football.
Match28 Nov 2026
Grêmio blown away early
There is a particular helplessness in conceding 2 times before the twentieth minute. Grêmio tried to reorganise, Corinthians did not allow it, and the result was written long before it was confirmed.
In brief
- Player ratings Memphis Depay in the eights
- The dugout A promise honoured at Corinthians
- The dugout Matheus Bidu is still being punished for one mistake
