He ran to see his mother: Ricardo Lagos and his emotion after winning the League 1 title with Alianza Lima

The ‘blue and white’ happiness after the victory. Alianza Lima defeated Sporting Cristal with a final result of 1-0 – a victory in the first leg and a goalless draw in the second leg – and thus became champions after four years of drought.

The intimate players celebrated in different ways: Jefferson Farfán carried by Hernán Barcos, Angelo Campos’ tears and one of the most emotional moments in the celebrations after the final whistle was when Ricardo Lagos ran to one of the stands to greet his mother, who cried while talking to his son.

“I promised you, do you remember or not? You see? God is great. I love you very much”Ricardo said to his mother, who was excited. The defender played the two finals, adding 27 games in the season.

Although he arrived in the midst of doubts, Lagos started on the left and had a good performance, much more in the first stage of the tournament. He scored four goals, the most remembered in the classic that Alianza beat Universitario 2-1.
