This Tuesday (20th), Palmeiras was defeated 4-0 by Novorizontino in the fourth round of the 2026 Paulistão.
With all the main players, this was the worst defeat of the Abel Ferreira era, considering the last time Verdão lost by a four-goal difference was in 2015.
Yes, at the end of 2025, Palmeiras lost to Flamengo 1-0, missing the chance to be the first to win four consecutive Libertadores titles (the "status" went to the Rubro-Negro) and it was certainly a very painful defeat.
However, conceding four goals to Novorizontino, which, despite being the current runner-up of the state tournament, is in the second division of Brazilian football, carries significant weight - not to mention the historical goal difference under the Portuguese coach's command.
But Verdão's rivals don't want to know anything else: it's already "carnival" on social media, which had fun with Palmeiras' "collapse."
