The Peruvian club mocked Boca Juniors on social media by using the same words that Gorosito used to describe the atmosphere of La Bombonera.
Tigre Gorosito had stated that in Boca's matches, the rival player feels "tightened butt" due to the pressure of the stadium. Sporting Cristal echoed these statements on Twitter with a photo of the team in training, writing: "Training at La Bombonera so they feel the same!"
The post generated various reactions on social media, with some Boca fans feeling offended while others took the joke humorously. Boca Juniors and Sporting Cristal will face each other in a match for the Copa Libertadores, which adds extra spice to the pre-match buildup.
