Last Tuesday, Alianza Lima made its debut against Athlético Paranaense in the Copa Libertadores 2023, with a good number of fans who gathered at the Alejandro Villanueva Stadium in La Victoria. However, after 90 minutes, they only managed a bitter 0-0 draw.
This final result only extended the current champion's winless streak in the Copa Libertadores. This situation was strongly criticized by the well-known Argentine journalist, Juan Pablo Varsky, through his social media.
"Alianza Lima has now gone 30 consecutive matches without a win in the Libertadores. They haven't won since 2012. It's a record. Against Athlético Paranaense, they managed to keep a clean sheet in the tournament for the first time since March 2018, when they drew 0-0 against Boca. Data from Mister Chip," wrote the communicator on his Twitter account.
Let's remember that the last time the blanquiazules were able to achieve a victory was against Nacional de Montevideo in 2012. Since then, the "íntimos" haven't been able to achieve a favorable result in this international tournament.
