Part 4/8:

In the 2024 Campeonato Brasileiro, São Paulo found considerable success, finishing in sixth place, which secured a spot in the Libertadores for the subsequent season. This achievement marked a notable improvement for a team that had struggled in recent years.

However, challenges arose in cup competitions. In the Copa do Brasil, São Paulo was eliminated by Atlético Mineiro, with disappointing performances that raised concerns among the supporters. The situation was compounded in the Copa Libertadores, where they faced Botafogo. In both legs, key players missed crucial opportunities—Lucas Moura and Jonathan Caleri’s failures during penalty shootouts ultimately sealed São Paulo's fate in this competition as well.
