- By the end of 2025, when there was much speculation about Paolo Guerrero’s possible retirement from professional football, the 42-year-old forward was already convinced he should play one more season and extended his contract through 2026. On several occasions, and in an exclusive interview with El Comercio in March this year, Guerrero confirmed to us that the decision for this to be his last season was already made. However, a few months before the championship ends and with Alianza Lima already qualified for possible playoffs, the possibility of playing in the Copa Libertadores arises. Knowing he is still active, will he maintain the same position? ( MORE INFORMATION HERE )

- 34 years later, on a Saturday, September 12, Alianza Lima will host Universitario at Matute in another edition of the Peruvian football classic. That same day, but in 1992, the ‘U’ took the victory 2-0 with goals from Juan Carlos Letelier and Álvaro Barco . That day went down in history because the terrorist leader Abimael Guzmán was captured in a house in Surquillo.

- Where is Edison Flores, the hero of the Matutazo, who today is sidelined by Cúper and has only 32 minutes in the Clausura?
- He was the indispensable player who, at the end of 2025, told El Comercio in Campomar: “I would like to finish my career here, at Universitario.” Today, after a few months, he suddenly seems to inhabit an invisible place. Edison Flores knows that strange territory perfectly. Not long ago he was the man of impossible goals, the guy who appeared when the jersey weighed more and the match demanded heroes. Today he trains, concentrates, watches the games from the bench and sometimes not even that. In Héctor Cúper’s Universitario, the hero of the Matutazo has become a question.
