Mural de Peñarol en el barrio de Palermo.
" Peñarol is regarded with as belligerent affection by its supporters as are the Brooklyn Dodgers. There is a saying in Uruguay, 'There are three religions in Uruguay: Catholicism, Batllismo, and Peñarol.' The writer can testify from personal experience that the reference to Peñarol is entirely correct. "
