The 2021 campaign was a season of revitalisation and resurgence for Corinthians, as Timão battled through mid-season managerial changes and surged to a crucial 5th-place finish in Série A, securing a coveted spot in the Copa Libertadores group stage. The turning point arrived with the emotional, mid-season return of club heroes like Renato Augusto and Willian, alongside the instant impact of new stars like Róger Guedes and Giuliano, who bolstered the squad under manager Sylvinho. Leading the scoring charts were the veteran Jô and the electrifying Guedes, with 7 goals each, driving the team's potent attack in a campaign that was marked by the long-awaited, emotional return of the Fiel Torcida to the Neo Química Arena. It was a vital year that cemented the club's place back in South America's elite competition and remains a defining chapter of renewed hope.
