“Hey São Paulo Futebol Clube, here is the Sport Club Corinthians Paulista!
Since our first meeting in Fazendinha in 1930 (Corinthian victory by 2×1), it’s been 88 years! Remember 1938? The first title we won over you in Parque São Jorge, goal of Carlito! And in Pacaembu in 1953? When we won by 3×2 already São Paulo champions from 1952, Claudio, Luizinho and Baltazar send hugs from the sky!
Remember the Bicampeonato of Corinthian Democracy with Wladimir, Casagrande and Socrates? Two consecutive years losing the final for us in Morumbi! Yeah … you called us a regional team, remember? Until the big final of the Brazilian Championship of 1990! Epic victory for 1×0, goal of Tupãzinho!
After that … Ra! Only joy! They lost again the 1997 São Paulo title to Timão no Morumba! Not counting the semifinals … dozens of eliminations for Timon. In 1999, in the Paulista and later in the Brasileirão with the Dida taking two penalties of Raí, remember?
It turned the century and had more semifinal, this time by the Glass of Brazil in 2002. David and Gil, Coringão in the final and Bicampeão! Our … I lost my breath … but Liédson did not, and in the final of Paulistão 2003, we won twice of you in Morumbi, our great stage of unforgettable title!
It’s St. Paul, that’s why you worship us. Coming in 2009, a phenomenal semifinal with Ronaldo and two more wins of ours! In 2011, 5×0 and we were Penta, remember?
There was nothing left for you to say that we did not have a passport, we never needed it. We eliminated you from another semi Paulista, this time on penalties and once again in Morumbi!
Always look forward to the great confrontation of the South American Recopa, remember? Renato Augusto? Roof? Guerrero and Romarinho and South American title on top of you!
It’s tricolor … and 2015? Hexa with 6×1, biggest thrashing in the history of the Majestic, what madness of the Mad Band in our Arena! And in 2017? The champion of the champions in another semifinal against you, a kiss of Jô and Vai Corinthians towards the glory!
