On their road to the final, Corinthians were impressive and bagged 58 goals in total with 14 victories to go with. During the knockout stages, they won both legs against Grêmio and also beat Palmeiras after they initially played out to a draw in the first leg.
In the course of the championship, Corinthians only lost one fixture and that loss came at the hands of São Paulo in the first game of the competition. No doubt, they are well-deserved winners for the title.
