The last Tuesday was a very tense night at the National Stadium. Not only because of Peru's defeat against Argentina (0-2) in the 2026 World Cup qualifiers , but also because of the behavior of the fans, with several of them entering the stadium in the final minutes of the second half. The particular event that caught attention during that moment was the image of Pedro Gallese taking a fan's cellphone and throwing it away, something that generated divided opinions on social media. One of those who opposed it was the journalist Martín Liberman , who strongly criticized the goalkeeper of the Peruvian National Team.
The Argentine used his X account (previously Twitter) to express his disagreement with the national team's actions, considering that the 'Blanquirroja' players should restore hope to the fans and not the opposite. He also suggested a public apology and the return of the cellphone to the fan who entered the stadium with the intention of taking a photo with Lionel Messi.
