Lucas Moura helped his boyhood club Sao Paulo break an 11-year trophy drought just four months after exiting Tottenham.
Lucas Moura, 31, exited Spurs as a free agent in the summer after spending 5½ years at the club during which time he helped them reach a Champions League final.
The Brazilian is mostly remembered for his heroics in the semi-final of the 2019 Champions League where he netted a hattrick against Ajax.
However, he has now helped his boyhood club Sao Paulo to win the Brazilian Cup 11 years after he departed the club where he started his professional career in 2010.
The former Tottenham attacker featured in both legs against Flamengo in the cup final alongside former Real Madrid midfielder James Rodriguez.
Lucas Moura also helped the club beat Flamengo 2-1 on aggregate across both matches.
He took to his social media accounts to reveal his latest achievement, saying: “HEEEEEEEEEE CHAMP!! One more promise of GOD being fulfilled in my life. Thank you Lord!”.
The winning meant that Moura has won 20 club trophies in his professional career despite the fact that he failed to win anything during his spell at Tottenham.
Fans also responded to his latest success and compared it with the fact that he left Tottenham before he could win a silverware.
This has been the case with several Spurs players, with the likes of Kyle Walker moving to Man City and Luka Modrić moving to Real Madrid before they could win major titles.
Lucas Moura could likely depart his boyhood club again as his deal is set to expire at the start of next year and he might move to the MLS.
