Paolo Guerrero could have become champion of the Clausura and be in the final of Liga 1, but he chose to go to Avaí and ended up being relegated in Brazil.
Alliance Lima showed interest in Paolo Guerrero in the middle of the year, but the forward preferred to continue playing abroad and signed for Avaí of Brazil. Nowadays, the íntimos are champions of the Clausura Tournament and could win the national title this weekend if they defeat Melgar, while 'El Depredador' ended up being relegated with the Brazilian team.
Paolo Guerrero played only 10 matches with Avaí of Brazil, in which he was a substitute in 6 of them, and later he got injured, failing to score a single goal and being heavily criticized. Likewise, he was no longer the reference he once was in football and at one point he begged his teammate to let him take a penalty kick, but the latter refused.
However, his present could have been very different if he had accepted to play for Alianza Lima at the time, as the club has had a great season and he could have formed a great duo with Hernán Barcos, the most important player they have in La Victoria.
Alianza Lima became champion of the Clausura Tournament 2022 and is now preparing for the second final of the League 1, in a match where they need to win in order to have a chance at the national title. Paolo Guerrero could be enjoying this moment with all his fans and, above all, his great friend Jefferson Farfán.

The second leg match between Alianza Lima and Melgar will be played on Saturday, November 12th, starting at 20:00 hours in Peru. Alianza Lima needs to win by a two-goal difference to be champions without the need for extra time.
