In the 2020 season, the Verdão enjoyed a historic and highly successful campaign, capturing a spectacular continental and domestic treble. Under the mid-season tactical guidance of manager Abel Ferreira, who made an immediate positive impact after replacing Vanderlei Luxemburgo, the squad triumphed in both the Copa Libertadores and the Copa do Brasil. They also secured the Campeonato Paulista title. Key contributions came from top scorer Luiz Adriano, who netted 20 goals overall, and league top scorer Raphael Veiga.
