Confident? The Peruvian team is just a few days away from playing against Paraguay at the start of the 2026 South American qualifiers. Amid the anticipation, the white and red press compared the players they led Guillermo Barros Schelotto with those of Juan Reynoso and consider them to be more international. They even boasted about footballers like Miguel Almirón and Julio Encisowho play in the Premier League.
“Today, internationally, in terms of current events and I would say the label, there are more of us. Newcastle (Almirón), Brighton (Enciso), Palmeiras (Gustavo Gómez) sound stronger. You have Advíncula who plays for Boca, then 2 in Major League Soccer and some in Mexico,” said the panelists for ABC media.
Although the Guaraní team records a much higher price than the Blanquirroja – in addition to having athletes in the European elite – the balance in the last confrontations between both teams is favorable for the Inca.
