A knee injury of the worst kind for Felipe Palacios
48 days on the estimate, and a long, private, unglamorous year of a rehabilitation nobody watches. Millonarios lose a footballer; he loses considerably more than a season.

Richardson Rivas puts it in writing
“This is not anger. I have thought about it for months, and nothing that has happened lately changed my mind.” The request is on a desk at Millonarios, and it is not being withdrawn.
The dugout15 May 2028
Juan José Ramírez says Millonarios went back on their word
“I was told what my role would be, and I signed on that basis. It has not happened.” A grievance with a date attached is the hardest kind to settle.

Sebastián Navarro reaches 200 appearances
200 games in the shirt. Nobody sets out to build a record like that; it happens to a certain kind of player at a certain kind of club, and this town knows what it has.

A falling-out at Millonarios
Danovis Banguero and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.

Millonarios count the cost of losing Jowell Carabalí
27 days, the scan says, and scans are kinder than reality. The fixtures in that window have just become somebody else’s job.

Juninho 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.
Player ratings15 May 2028
Jhomier Guerrero was the difference for Millonarios
Marked 7.64. Ask anyone leaving the ground what settled it and you will get one name, which is the only award that has ever really counted.

Andrey Estupiñán gets it from the manager
“Nobody here is above being told.” It was not said with a name attached, but the dressing room can count, and so can everybody who was listening.
In brief
- The dugout When it matters, Javier Burrai plays
- Player ratings A day to forget for Juninho
- Match Millonarios and America de Cali cancel each other out
