HOW WAS PALMEIRS BORN?
The history of Palesta, As his followers call him, began on August 26, 1914 thanks to four Italians living in Sao Paulo, Those who decided to give life to the club that at that time was called Gym Italy i the colors were those of the flag of this nation (green, white and red). With this particularity, the team played in the amateur league and was even crowned five times, until it jumped to professionalism.
With a history full of glory, the team was a star in every national tournament it played, however at the outbreak of World War II everything changed, Since Brazil supported the allies and therefore had repudiated against the Italians, in addition to the government banning everything related to the Axis (Germany, Italy and Japan). like this, in 1942 the Palmeiras was born, although the origin is not forgotten, As in some seasons the alternative uniform has been tricolor being the most recent case in 2017.

One of the main problems that Tigres will face is that it will be measured with the most winner of the Brazilian championship. and that lives a remarkable moment, after a long drought of 12 years, since from 1994 to 2015 it did not manage to prevail in the league, until in 2016 it added 80 points, being that it only lost six parties.
To make matters worse, Palmeiras did not take long to be crowned again because he repeated the dose in 2018 with the same 80 units, in addition that last year took control of the Paulista Championship that did not win from 2008. The sum of all the above puts the team as a favorite to overcome the Semifinals of the Club World Cup.
