Marcos López was one of the players of the Peruvian National Team who played the most minutes in the first double matchday of the 2026 Qualifiers (45 'against Paraguay and 90' against Brazil). He did a good job on the field and received lots of applause from the fans. Before traveling to Europe (to join Feyenoord from the Netherlands), the defender stated that, despite the painful defeat against 'Scratch', the national team showed that they are ready to fight - and soon win - against the big teams of South America and the world.
The former player of the San Jose Earthquakes is calm because they did a great job against the Brazilian squad. "We drew very good conclusions within the group, obviously it wasn't the result we expected against Brazil, we were looking for something else. From a tactical standpoint, I think we did it in the best way, but small details make you lose these kinds of matches. We have to try to improve for what's coming," he pointed out to Ovación.
