Curious comments. The triumph of Alianza Lima against Binacional not only allowed the team commanded by Guillermo Salas to take the lead in the Clausura Tournament, but this result also assured them their presence in the next Copa Libertadores.
Beyond the present happiness in the blanquiazul people, they were attentive to what happened in the Liga 1 from abroad and reacted in a peculiar way. The YouTube channel Palabra de Gol 'celebrated' the qualification of the Peruvian club and uploaded a video titled: "Alianza Lima and its curses return to the Libertadores 2023".
"Stop everything. Alianza Lima will be in the Copa Libertadores 2023 and you know what that means: family, today we eat. We will see the luck of the blanquiazul club in their 29th participation in the tournament. And do you know what else is 29? The number of matches without winning for Alianza Lima in the Libertadores. Since their triumph in 2012 against Nacional de Montevideo, we have not seen the blanquiazul team score three points in the Libertadores and we will also see if that particular streak is broken," said the Colombian YouTuber.

As if that weren't enough, the character referred to a particular statistic that has haunted the opponents of the victorious institution in the continental tournament in recent years.
"Likewise, it has been a long time since they faced a potential champion of the tournament. Practically, those who face the Peruvian teams have to say goodbye to their chances of winning the Libertadores (...). Do you think this will continue towards 2023? Will we finally see a dignified performance from Alianza Lima or will it be another habitual humiliation for the íntimos de la Victoria?", concluded.
Alianza Lima seeks the bicampeonato
While the Copa Libertadores 2023 will be part of the planning for the next season, for now, the team led by 'Chicho' Salas must focus on their next matches.
With two matchdays remaining to finish the Clausura, the reigning champion needs to prevail against Ayacucho FC and ADT de Tarma to win the second tournament of the year. This would allow them to access the playoffs and have a chance to achieve the bicampeonato.
