The 'prehistoric striker', Sergio Ibarra, joined the criticism that the winner's trophy of the 2022 Apertura Tournament received by Melgar has been receiving. The popular 'Checho' did not hide his annoyance at what he considered a lack of respect for the champion.
And the winner's plate of the Apertura Tournament received by the 'dominó' team left much to be desired. The poor quality of the manufacturing was evidenced during the celebration, as the letters kept falling off while the players were celebrating.
Finally, a photo was published showing how the trophy ended up. A total of 7 letters, 3 numbers, and several pieces of the Liga 1 logo fell off, leaving a completely unintelligible message.
"One laughs, but it's really a shame. If they had given us that trophy in 2004 or 2005, we would have thrown it at their heads. I'm sure Carty, Lugo, Ibáñez, Saraz... would have thrown it at their heads. It's a shame, a lack of respect," said Ibarra on Latina TV.
