Paraguayans don’t mess around.

Olimpia fans showed just how intense their rivalry with Guarani is by breaking into their trophy cabinet ahead of kick-off in their game on Sunday.

In bizarre scenes, the supporters parade the silverware around in the stands before disdainfully throwing them onto the playing surface.

You have to feel for this poor soul whose job it was to collect the tainted trophies but Guarani got the last laugh as they saw off their fierce rivals 1-0 on the night.
