    DID YOU KNOW?

    His efforts ultimately proved to be in vain, as Palmeiras prevailed 3-2 in a five-goal thriller. Hulk did, however, score late in each half to keep the game interesting. He curled his first free-kick into the top corner from 25 yards, before slamming a second into the back of the net from the edge of the box.

  • WHAT NEXT FOR HULK?

    Hulk has been back in Brazil since 2021, when he ended a lucrative spell in China, and has stated a desire to extend his career for as long as possible - with the plan being to emulate Portuguese GOAT Cristiano Ronaldo by playing into his 40s.
