The night of last Thursday was a spectacular day of football at the Alejandro Villanueva stadium, where the women's team of Alianza Lima beat Carlos A. Mannucci 3-0 and were crowned national champions. Like in any celebration, there were special guests and one of them was Hernán Barcos, who enjoyed the goals and had words of praise for the campaign the girls carried out.
It was a spectacular day for the blanquiazul people and the 'Pirata' did not want to miss a historic event, not only for Alianza Lima, but also for women's football in Peru. There were more than 30,000 fans in the stands of Matute, and with the title in their hands, the fireworks made the celebrations more emotional.
Regarding the campaign carried out by Samir Mendoza's team, Hernán Barcos valued the effort they made throughout 2022, finishing the year undefeated. "Spectacular, well-deserved for the work they have been doing for two or three years. I told them before the game to enjoy it and live it, they deserve this celebration," said the Argentine striker in an interview with ESPN.
On the other hand, the 'Pirata' was surprised by the spectacular crowd at the Alejandro Villanueva stadium and mentioned that they all came because of what the girls transmit from the field of play. "People come to watch them because of what they give, because of what they transmit, because of what they generate. Now enjoy it and may they continue on that path," he added.
Finally, the Cordovan spoke about the challenge they will have in the 2022 Copa Libertadores Femenina, where Alianza Lima will represent Peru. The tournament starts on October 13th and will take place in Ecuador. "Now it's time for the Libertadores and surely they will represent Peru," he emphasized.
