Alianza Lima made headlines in the last few hours, not only for the defeat in the final against Universitario but also for the blackout in Matute. Due to the wave of criticism of this event, the blue and white club released a statement saying that the reason was a “rapid evacuation of people”. This justification worsened the questioning of confidants, as in the case of the journalist Pedro García.
The sports communicator attacked the document he published Lima Alliance and stated that the arguments put forward were “an insult to the intelligence” of intimate fans.
“I’m a little upset. It’s an underestimation of the fan’s abilities, an insult to the intelligence of the fan who is aware of what happened,” he explained on the “Al Angle” show.
