Hulk now has eight goals and six assists for Atlético in the 2023 Brazilian Championship. If Paulinho is the top scorer (11), the black and white idol is the one with the most goal appearances. In fact, in total, only Tiquinho Soares was more decisive than Hulk, so far, in Series A.
With a good amount of return ahead of him, Hulk has already equaled the 14 direct goal appearances he had in last year’s Brazilian Championship. In 2022, Atlético had a bad campaign in the Brazilian Championship (seventh place), Hulk finished with 12 goals and 2 assists, and missed the last rounds due to a calf injury.
The bicycle goal at Beira-Rio was Hulk’s 88th with an Atlético shirt. He became the 24th highest scorer in Atlético’s history, surpassing former Paulista striker, who scored 87 goals in 163 games, being one of the 1937 Brazilian champions.
The countdown has already begun for Hulk to reach 100 goals for Atlético. It would be an unprecedented milestone for the player, and one that the club has not seen happen since Diego Tardelli in 2014. In his career, Hulk reached 395 official goals (also considering the 2012 Olympics) in 758 games.

With the goals in the 2023 edition, Hulk managed to surpass iconic players on the list: Dadá Maravilha, Éder Aleixo, Valdir Bigode and Renaldo.
