Palmeiras seal Libertadores spot, target near-perfect August | OneFootball

Palmeiras took another important step this season by confirming their qualification for the quarterfinals of the CONMEBOL Libertadores. The spot, secured on Thursday (22), at Allianz Parque, solidifies the team's comeback after the painful elimination by Corinthians earlier this month, and keeps the dream of the continental four-time championship alive.

With the positive streak of results, the Verdão approaches the end of August close to a scenario considered "almost perfect" internally. In addition to advancing in the South American tournament, the team managed to regain confidence, adjust the defense, and accumulate victories that strengthen the environment before the stop for the FIFA date in September.

Reaction after the blow

The elimination to the biggest rival shook the squad and generated external demands. However, under the command of Abel Ferreira, the group reacted quickly. Palmeiras scored important points in the Brasileirão, kept the focus on the Libertadores, and returned to show regularity, one of the hallmarks of the Portuguese coach's work.

Rest and planning

With the qualification guaranteed, Palmeiras will be able to face the FIFA date with tranquility. The break period will serve to physically recover worn-out players, as well as give time to the coaching staff to adjust tactical details aiming at the decisive stretch of the year.

In September, Verdão will have important commitments on both fronts: Brasileirão and Libertadores.
