Paolo Guerrero Clarifies Podcast Remark, Says It Was Not About ‘Puma’ Carranza

The striker cast the exchange as a joke to cool a rivalry-fueled dispute.

Overview

  • Guerrero, speaking Sunday to reporters at Lima’s Jorge Chávez airport, said he “did not refer to anyone” and that he was joking with co-host Aldo Miyashiro.
  • The clarification followed a clip from his MVP podcast where he mocked Miyashiro naming José Luis ‘Puma’ Carranza as a Universitario idol, a moment that spread fast on social media.
  • Carranza answered by calling Guerrero’s attitude arrogant, stressing his 20-year career was clean and saying the comments did not take anything from him.
  • Guerrero declined to engage Carranza’s critiques and framed the blowup as a misunderstanding, signaling he wants to end the media back-and-forth.
  • In separate remarks, Carranza praised a new film about his friend ‘Kukín’ Flores and said he has rejected offers for a biopic, reflecting how club figures shape their public legacy.
