Love is in the air on Valentine's Day, and taking advantage of the occasion, Depor reminds you of some of the most romantic moments in Peruvian soccer. From Jefferson Farfán's 'Totó' dance to Donny Neyra's 'peck' with Roberto Jiménez, not forgetting Roberto Palacios' grand celebration.
The celebration with the heart
This is one of the most common celebrations, used to symbolize love for a partner. Paolo Hurtado, Christian Cueva, and Yordy Reyna were some of the Peruvian National Team players who dedicated a goal in this way.

Dedications with signs
Last year we witnessed particular celebrations, two of them were from Alianza Lima players, Luis Aguiar and Rinaldo Cruzado. The Uruguayan explained that it was a way of celebrating his wife's pregnancy, while Cruzado explained that he made the number 5 with his fingers to dedicate a goal to his wife and the number 6 to dedicate it to his children.

Juan Manuel Vargas, Eduardo Esidio, and Roberto Palacios used this traditional way of celebrating a goal at some point. The 'Loco' sent a message to his wife, Esidio did it to show love towards God, while 'Chorri' and Paolo Guerrero and Claudio Pizarro did it as a show of affection towards the country.
The most romantic moments in history
Finally, we arrive at the most 'affectionate' moments protagonized by players in the Peruvian League. The first one, the warm embrace between Yoshimar Yotun and Yancarlo Casas, when both played for Sporting Cristal. The last one, the 'peck' between Donny Neyra and Roberto Jiménez, after a goal in a classic match that 'U' won 2-1 in 2008.
