Marcelo Lomba

Marcelo Lomba do Nascimento (born 18 December 1986), is a Brazilian footballer who plays as a goalkeeper for Série A club Palmeiras.

Despite this first chance, Lomba didn't have much space as he was, at that time, the squad's third goalkeeper after Diego and Bruno.

In 2010, with the departure of Diego for Ceará, the young archer became the team's second keeper, and gradually established himself as a starter after Bruno had left the club due to criminal issues.

For the 2011 season Flamengo loaned Lomba to Brazilian Série B club Ponte Preta to get more first team experience.

He was subsequently named best goalkeeper of the 2018 Campeonato Brasileiro, helping the club achieve a 3rd place, securing a spot on the next season's Copa Libertadores.
