Marked for Jairo Torres

Player ratings14 Feb 2028

Jordan Barrera, 21, steals the show — 8.19

Marked 8.19 at 21, in a side that makes no allowances for age. He did not need any, and he looked the least nervous man on the pitch.

Match12 Feb 2028

Nobody wants to play Barranquilla right now

3 wins in a row changes how opponents warm up: quieter, more glances across. Runs end, everybody knows that — but nobody in this dressing room is planning for it.

Squad14 Feb 2028

Words exchanged at Barranquilla

Sebastián Guerra and a teammate said things this week that will take longer than a week to unsay. It was not about football, and both of them play on Saturday.

Squad14 Feb 2028

Sebastián Caballero signs on for more

“Some decisions take a long time. This one took ten minutes, and most of that was finding a pen.” Sebastián Caballero and Barranquilla agree another 4 years.

Squad14 Feb 2028

Howell Mena falls out with a teammate over standards

The oldest argument in any dressing room and the only one that is genuinely about football: one man thinks another is not putting enough in. It is also the row a manager privately does not mind having happened.

Match12 Feb 2028

Barranquilla get the job done against Universitario Popayan

A 2‑1 win over Universitario Popayan, earned rather than given, and the sort of afternoon that sends everyone home talking about next week instead of this one.

The terraces14 Feb 2028

The crowd has taken to Javier Ortíz

At 23 he is being sung about by people twice his age, which is an affection a signing has to earn over years and a local kid gets for turning up. It is also the hardest thing in football to live up to.

The dugout14 Feb 2028

No hiding place for Rodrigo Mina

“I pick players who do the work. All of it.” No name was spoken; every camera still turned to Rodrigo Mina, and the manager let it.

Market14 Feb 2028

Jairo Torres attracts admirers

The name of Jairo Torres has come up in conversations Barranquilla were not part of. Nothing formal, nothing signed — but nothing about it accidental either.

Market4 Oct 2027

Yesid García asks to leave Barranquilla

“I have given everything here and I need a new challenge.” The request is formal, and the relationship will never be quite the same again.

Squad4 Oct 2027

Words exchanged at Barranquilla

Sebastián Guerra and a teammate said things this week that will take longer than a week to unsay. It was not about football, and both of them play on Saturday.

Squad4 Oct 2027

Jairo Torres in trouble away from the ground

Every paper's favourite story and every manager's least. What happened is being dealt with internally, which is the phrase clubs use when they would rather nobody asked again.

The dugout4 Oct 2027

No hiding place for Jhon Navia

“I pick players who do the work. All of it.” No name was spoken; every camera still turned to Jhon Navia, and the manager let it.

Squad4 Oct 2027

Training ground row involving Jairo Torres

Tempers went at Barranquilla this week. Nothing a hard session and a quiet word cannot repair, though the story got out all the same.

The dugout4 Oct 2027

Leyner Liñan is still being punished for one mistake

Nobody will confirm it and the team sheets confirm it every week. One error has bought him a spell as second choice that is already longer than the error deserved.

Market4 Oct 2027

The José Luis Caicedo question follows Barranquilla around

Every press conference now starts and ends the same way: with José Luis Caicedo’s future. The manager has run out of new ways to say nothing.

The dugout4 Oct 2027

Yeferson Moreno knocks on the manager's door

“It had gone on long enough. I would rather have it out than leave it sitting there.” Ten minutes behind a closed door at Barranquilla, and both men came out saying it was fine.

Market4 Oct 2027

Barranquilla and Darwin Torres are talking past each other

“There is a gap, and pretending there is not helps nobody.” Neither side has moved, and the calendar is working for exactly one of them.

From our football correspondent Crisis

Match24 Apr 2027

Nowhere to hide for Barranquilla

0‑3 against Llaneros, and no complaints that would survive the replay. The manager spoke about character afterwards; the terraces used shorter words.

Market26 Apr 2027

Barranquilla may not be able to give Howell Mena what he wants

It is the most legitimate ambition in the sport and the hardest for most clubs to satisfy. Howell Mena wants continental football; whether Barranquilla can provide it is a question about the next two seasons, not about him.

Squad26 Apr 2027

Tempers go at Barranquilla

José Luis Caicedo was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

Squad26 Apr 2027

Words at Barranquilla training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Howell Mena is at the centre of it, and the squad will now find out whether the standard rises or the pair of them simply stop speaking.

Squad26 Apr 2027

Barranquilla lose Jairo Torres

16 days, the medical staff say, and medical staff are optimists by profession. The team sheet will look wrong without him.

Boardroom26 Apr 2027

Doors closed at Barranquilla

The music was off and the showers ran late. What was said in that dressing room stays there, but Saturday will publish the minutes.

The dugout26 Apr 2027

The manager’s verdict

“That is on me. I pick the team and I picked wrong.” Managers say that when they mean it and when they need to be seen to, and after 0‑3 Mateo Rodriguez left the room before anybody could ask which.

Boardroom26 Apr 2027

Wages swallow 94% of the Barranquilla income

Every club pays most of what it earns to its players. Paying nearly all of it is a different arrangement, and it has ended the same way every time it has been tried.

The dugout26 Apr 2027

The manager has not finished forgetting Diego Mendoza's mistake

Publicly it is behind everybody. It is not behind the man who picks the team, and the only place that shows is a team sheet. He will get another chance; he will get it in a match that matters less.
