Marcelo Grioni: "We were robbed of the Apertura Tournament, otherwise we could have played the final" [VIDEO]

Real Garcilaso

Real Garcilaso made a campaign for applause and managed to classify again to the Copa Libertadores, but they are still upset because they claim that the Torneo Apertura was taken from their hands. This was stated by the coach, Marcelo Grioni.

The coach of Real Garcilaso pointed out in a press conference after defeating San Martín 2-1 that they did things well, but they are not in a final today because the championship was stolen from them.

"I reiterate, the Torneo Apertura was stolen from us. If I'm not mistaken, we finished first in the accumulated table with 86 points. What am I going to ask of these guys? The Libertadores is a great consolation prize, it's not small. When we review the campaign that was made, everyone will be happy," said Grioni.

"But I am very happy with this squad. If they had not stolen the Apertura from us, we could have played the final, but it's over. We lost key points against 'U' and Sport Huancayo as well," he concluded.

Alianza Lima is champion: the emotion and ecstasy when lifting the cup.
