Match17 Jun 2028

Millonarios throw away a 2-goal lead

2 in front and in complete control, and it finished with Envigado the happier side. There is no version of this afternoon that Millonarios will enjoy reviewing.

Squad19 Jun 2028

Alex Castro: that is not what I was promised

“Things were said to me before I signed. I am not going to repeat them, but I remember all of them.” Millonarios have not answered, which is an answer of sorts.

Squad19 Jun 2028

Álvaro Banquero keeps Millonarios in it on his own

Some afternoons a goalkeeper is the team. 8 saves, several of them the sort nobody expects to see stopped, and a scoreline that flatters everybody in front of him.

Market19 Jun 2028

Darwin Cortés hands in a written request

“I have nothing bad to say about this place. I just need to be somewhere else.” It is in writing now, which changes what Millonarios can pretend not to have heard.

Squad19 Jun 2028

A muscle injury sidelines Diego Novoa for 16 days

Nobody makes a documentary about a hamstring and everybody in the game fears one. Millonarios will be careful with the return date, because the second one is always worse than the first.

Market19 Jun 2028

Millonarios turn down Patriotas for Jhon Riascos

The offer was not close and it was refused without much discussion. Whether the second one is refused as quickly is another matter.

Market19 Jun 2028

Andrés Llinás wants European nights

The general version of this complaint is that a player wants more. The specific version names the thing: he wants to walk out under floodlights against clubs from other countries, and he has stopped pretending otherwise.

Market19 Jun 2028

Millonarios sign Miller Bacca for $450.0K

The paperwork is done: Miller Bacca joins from Junior in a deal worth $450.0K. Now comes the harder part.

Squad19 Jun 2028

Tempers go at Millonarios

Alex Castro 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.

From our football correspondent Uneasy

Boardroom20 Dec 2027

The silence upstairs is getting loud at Millonarios

Nobody on the board has said anything against the manager, which is the point — they have stopped saying anything for him either.

Squad20 Dec 2027

Julian Angulo in a row with a teammate

It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Millonarios this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad20 Dec 2027

Jorge Arias 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.

Market20 Dec 2027

Millonarios may not be able to give Samuel Martín what he wants

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

Squad20 Dec 2027

Julian Angulo asks for a word with the manager

“I would rather say it to his face than read about it.” The meeting was requested by the player, which tells you most of what you need to know.

Market20 Dec 2027

No place for Darwin Cortés in the plan

“The manager did not use many words, and he did not need to.” Darwin Cortés has his answer from Millonarios; what he does with it is the next window’s story.

Market20 Dec 2027

Millonarios put Jorge Arias up for sale

The list is a quiet document with a loud meaning. Jorge Arias may talk to anybody who asks, and everybody at the club understands what that means.

Squad20 Dec 2027

Sebastián Valencia has become a man the manager trusts

Nobody at Millonarios will say this on the record and the team sheets have been saying it for weeks. There is a small group in every squad who get picked when the fixture is difficult, and he has joined it.

Loan watch20 Dec 2027

The goals keep arriving from Juan José Ramírez’s exile

6 goals in 21 games at Llaneros — numbers that travel home faster than he does. Somebody at Millonarios updates a spreadsheet every Monday, and it makes better reading each week.
