History
In 2022, Palmeiras was in its second full season under the command of Abel Ferreira, hired in November 2020. The team came as champions of the 2021 Copa Libertadores and opened the year competing in the FIFA Club World Cup in the United Arab Emirates, where it lost the final to Chelsea 2-1 after extra time. At the beginning of the season, the team won the Copa Sudamericana over Athletico Paranaense and the São Paulo State Championship. In the second half, it maintained consistency and confirmed the 2022 Brazilian Championship title, reinforcing the club's recent hegemony in Brazilian football. In the 2022 Copa Libertadores, Palmeiras reached the semifinals and was eliminated by Athletico Paranaense. The squad featured goalkeeper Weverton, defender Gustavo Gómez, midfielder Raphael Veiga, forward Dudu and striker Rony as key players, alongside the emergence of young Endrick, who made his professional debut that year.
