Barcos gave an Alianza Lima shirt to Schelotto, his former teammate at Sporting de Portugal

Alianza Lima will close its participation in Group F of the Copa Libertadores in Argentina, against the powerful River Plate. The team directed by Carlos Bustos is already in Buenos Aires and the arrival also meant a special moment for Hernán Barcos: he had the opportunity to talk with Ezequiel Schelotto, with whom he has a great friendship.

The 33-year-old Argentine defender, currently a player for Racing Club de Avellaneda, was in charge of revealing the meeting he had with the “Pirate” through social networks. “How nice to see you again, friend”, was the message that the right side wrote on Instagram.

The publication also has a postcard of both protagonists, which highlights a special detail: Ezequiel Schelotto received the Alianza Lima shirt as a gift, which had the name and number of Hernán Barcos stamped on it. Without a doubt, a fraternal friendly relationship that has prevailed for more than six years.

Let us remember that both footballers coincided at Sporting Club de Lisboa in 2016. At that time, they only shared seven months on the squad, since the ‘Pirate’ left when he could not find a place in the starting team.

When does Alianza Lima play vs. River Plate?

Alianza Lima will face River Plate this Tuesday, May 25 at the Monumental Stadium in Buenos Aires, starting at 5:00 pm (Peruvian time). The meeting will be the last of both clubs in Group F of the Copa Libertadores and the result will not have much relevance: the “Millionaires” are leaders and are classified to the round of 16, with 13 points; while the ‘Blanquiazules’ are in the last box, adding only one unit.
