Rafael Veiga Reflects on Palmeiras’ Season and Rivalry Context
Rafael Veiga, a key player for Palmeiras, recently opened up about the 2024 season during an interview at the “Mesa Redonda” trophy event. His remarks ignited discussions regarding the performance of Palmeiras amidst a backdrop of rival teams and unmet expectations.
Veiga addressed the disappointment felt by the Palmeiras squad after a season that, while yielding the Campeonato Paulista, fell short of major accomplishments.
