Jefferson Farfán on shoulders: Hernán Barcos carried the ‘Foquita’ after Alianza Lima’s title | VIDEO

Alianza Lima was proclaimed champion of League 1 at the National Stadium after the draw against Sporting Cristal in the second final. The result consumed glory for the ‘Blanquiazules’, who immediately started the celebrations: Jefferson Farfán was raised on the shoulders by Hernán Barcos in front of the stands.

The duel had been complicated for the ‘Blanquiazules’, since their rival had several chances to score to equalize the key for the crown. However, Carlos Bustos’ team showed defensive solidity and maintained the difference until the final whistle of referee Kevin Ortega. The time to celebrate had come.

Hernán Barcos, who scored the only goal in the first leg, was moved and was observed with tears on his face, as he greeted the fans who attended the National Stadium. After a few minutes, he went to find Jefferson Farfán, the other experienced man who was key throughout the season.

The ‘Pirata’ decided to carry his partner on his shoulders and took him in the direction of the South Stand, where the Alianza Lima fans were located. The songs sounded in unison, setting up an emotional postcard between the protagonists on the field and those in charge of putting together the party in the stands.

During this course, Hernán Barco became the figure of Alianza Lima with the 10 goals he scored in 28 games played. For his part, Jefferson Farfán could only add four touchdowns in 14 appearances, although always in key moments. Both were the basis for the League 1 title.
