This Saturday, Palmeiras celebrates six years of the Brazilian championship, which broke a 22-year fast for the club without winning the national title. That season, Verdão was champion with 80 points and one round to spare.
On November 27, 2016, the team then led by coach Cuca beat Chapecoense 1-0 and secured the national title. The decisive goal was scored by Fabiano in the 25th minute of the first half.
In the match marked with the title, Palmeiras was scheduled with: Jailson; Fabiano, Edu Dracena, Vitor Hugo and Zé Roberto; Tchê Tchê, Jean and Moisés; Dudu, Roger Guedes and Gabriel Jesus.
In that season, Palmeiras had 24 wins, eight draws and six losses. Verdão finished the competition with 62 and 32 conceded, holders of the best attack and best defense.
After an erratic start to the league, Palmeiras won crucial games in July, against Grêmio, Flamengo and Corinthians. Subsequently, between August and October, Verdão went on a 15-match unbeaten run, which led the team to walk steadily towards the title.
Among the Palmeiras side’s highlights in the title campaign was Gabriel Jesus, who finished the competition as the team’s top scorer, with 12 goals scored. The striker was still elected protagonist of the competition.
Main character of the current cast, striker Dudu was enjoying his second season at the club and was one of the highlights of the season, with six goals scored and ten assists. Subsequently, the number 7 still commanded the conquests of the Brazilian titles in 2018 and 2022.
