The 2017 campaign delivered a sensational, unexpected triumph for Corinthians as Timão, under the masterful leadership of manager Fábio Carille, surged to their seventh Série A title with three games to spare. The year was defined by the squad's defiant 'Fourth Force' spirit, which fueled a record-breaking, unbeaten first round and a club-historic 34-game unbeaten streak. Leading the charge was the clinical veteran Jô, whose league-winning 18 goals proved decisive in a campaign built on defensive solidarity and tactical brilliance, cementing Timão's status as the biggest champion of the century.
