Gustavo Gómez continues to write his name in the history of Palmeiras and the Libertadores.
With the goal scored against Universitario from Peru, the Paraguayan reached 13 goals in the competition, equaling the Chilean Rubén Espinoza as the defender with the most goals in the history of the Libertadores.
But that's not all. The alviverde captain also stands alone as the defender with the most goals in the history of Palmeiras, with 40 goals, surpassing legendary names like Luís Pereira and Cléber.
In the continent's main club tournament, Gustavo Gómez is the third highest scorer of the club, behind only Rony (21) and Raphael Veiga (17).
And in the 21st century, the 32-year-old Paraguayan is already the 9th highest scorer of Verdão, even as a defender, behind Valdívia (41 goals), Gustavo Scarpa (44 goals), Flaco López (47 goals), Vagner Love (54 goals), Willian Bigode (66 goals), Rony (70 goals), Dudu (88 goals), and Raphael Veiga (105 goals).
Incredible, right? Who can stop the goal-scoring defender?
NA HISTÓRIA!
