This is called having an immediate impact. This summer, after the expiration of his contract with Tottenham Spurs where he had played since 2018, former Parisian Lucas Moura (31) made the choice of the heart by returning to his former club São Paulo FC, ten years old after leaving him. A choice immediately rewarded: less than two months after his arrival, the SPFC was crowned on the night of Sunday to Monday in the Brazilian Cup for the first time in its history.
In the best of two rounds against the legendary Flamengo (1-0, 1-1), Clube da Fé won only its second major trophy since… 2012, the year of Lucas’ departure for Paris Saint-Germain and a prestigious victory in Copa Sudamericana, the South American equivalent of the Europa League. Since then, the Paulista club has crossed a small desert, only lifting the Campeonato Paulista, the Sao Paulo championship in 2021. But it had been 15 years, and their national crown in 2008, that Sao Paulo had not won a national title .
“I’m living a dream,” declared the former Parisian, who appeared very emotional, in tears on the pitch following the title. São Paulo is a feeling, it’s in my skin. I trained at the club, left at 17, now I’m 31, bald and have two kids, and the kids are already making fun of me (laughs). I have never experienced what I experienced today, nothing is comparable, not even in the clubs I frequented in Europe. Winning a title with the São Paulo jersey is special. »
A promotion that couldn’t come at a better time for the documentary which he has just announced will be released on September 30 on Prime Video and which tells of his special bond with the Sao Paulo club and his return this summer: “Lucas Moura: in history “.
