Effects of the 6-0 defeat: São Paulo fails to reach the G7, tensions rise, and the city finds itself at risk.

The disastrous night at the Maracanã yesterday brought some consequences for São Paulo after the 6-0 thrashing suffered against Fluminense in the 36th round of the Brasileirão.

The consequences
São Paulo can no longer reach the G7 . Currently in eighth place, the Tricolor has 48 points and is no longer in contention for the Libertadores qualification spot with two rounds remaining in the Brasileirão — Bahia is seventh, with 56 points.

Eighth place is threatened . Corinthians could reach the same 48 points if they beat Botafogo on Sunday. If that happens, Timão will reach the same 13 wins as São Paulo and will have a better goal difference [currently -4 to -6] — Tricolor went into.

Atlético-MG is another team that could catch up with São Paulo, but they won’t overtake them . If they beat Fortaleza, Galo will reach the same 48 points as São Paulo, but will be one win behind [13 to 12]

If São Paulo finishes the Brazilian Championship outside of eighth place, they will no longer have a chance to qualify for the Libertadores Cup . The G7 could become a G8 — all it takes is for Cruzeiro or Fluminense to win the Copa do Brasil title.

The atmosphere turned tense after the thrashing at the Maracanã . Midfielder Luiz Gustavo vented his frustration as he left the field, criticizing the board . In the mixed zone, Rui Costa, São Paulo’s football executive, lamented the result and stated that “everyone is responsible” and that “it’s not the time to point fingers.”

The management will hold a meeting with the players upon their return to training today . The conversation aims to internally analyze the embarrassing situation and determine responsibilities. The atmosphere at the club is one of crisis and dissatisfaction, both on and off the field.

The thrashing and the ex
Plagued by absences, São Paulo was crushed by Fluminense at the Maracanã . It took just over 20 minutes of play for the Rio de Janeiro team to open up a 3-0 lead, with goals from Canobbio, Martinelli, and Nonato.
