When everything seemed like it was going to be a friendly preview, according to the quality of the game that was going to be played, everything ended in chaos.
The
Peruvian national team
is in
Spain
waiting to play a friendly against
Morocco
on Tuesday and before a flag raised by the Latin American fans, the players decided to go without knowing that everything would end up out of control and in a confrontation with shoving and insults against the
police spanish
.
At first, everything had started in the best way: with photos, autographs and songs in the form of encouragement.
But due to the little police force present in that situation, everything ended up getting out of hand and caused some
crosses between players and members of security
.
Everything got worse when several fans ended up joining the situation.
Chaos ensued when officials tried to set up a police cordon to protect the Peruvian soccer players, but the fans began to push each other as they wanted to stay close to the squad.
The troops did not take long to react, also provoking the response of the fans.
The images are eloquent: they attacked whatever came their way, since
some Peruvian players were confused with the rest of the fans
and attacked alongside them.
Attempts to calm the waters were unsuccessful and that was how the teammates themselves began to defend each other.

Even many of the players had to leave the place and take refuge since they were present with their children, as is the case of
Luis Advíncula
, the right side of Boca.
The clash was difficult to stop.
Many footballers were surprised by the actions of the officials but it did not prevent the beatings and insults from ceasing.
The most affected turned out to be
Alex Valera
,
Pedro Gallese
and
Yoshimar Yotún
, even appearing in some of the videos that show the tumult caused.
"
They punched us
," the Peruvian goalkeeper said angrily after the scandal generated and for which he had to be taken to the police station for a few hours.
Finally, he was released and returned to the concentration to try to focus on the friendly against Morocco.
