Fans of Universitario de Deportes are already experiencing the preview of the first leg match against Alianza Lima for the national grand final. The Monumental Stadium in Ate will receive thousands of cremas fans who are hoping for a victory from their beloved team.

Carlos Galván, former defender of the merengue squad, surprised some fans with an unexpected statement in which he stated that the team led by Uruguayan coach, Jorge Fossati, is also going for the three-peat.

"Both teams are playing for the three-peat, that's what people may not know. The 'U' has the chance to win the three-peat for '99, 2009, and now, but it's different against Alianza," said the Argentine.

Carlos Galván gave advice to Williams Riveros prior to the classic match

"Williams Riveros has the experience, that's why he's at Universitario, he should always play freely and not look for Barcos. The libero has to take care of winning the loose balls so that the 'Pirate' is further away from the crema goal," said the popular 'Negro'.
