Millonarios may not be able to give Alex Castro what he wants

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

Squad

Leonardo Castro signs on for more

“Some decisions take a long time. This one took ten minutes, and most of that was finding a pen.” Leonardo Castro and Millonarios agree another 2 years.

Squad

Tempers go at Millonarios

Julian Angulo 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.

Squad

Mateo García 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.

Squad

The manager makes an example of Mateo García

“If you cannot run for the shirt, somebody else will wear it.” No name was used and none was needed; every player in that room knew who it was for.

Market

Talks stall between Millonarios and Sérgio Mosquera

“We are a long way apart, and pretending otherwise helps nobody.” Neither side is close, and the calendar is not on the club's side.

Market

24 months and counting on Jorge Arias

Still no offer on the table, and Jorge Arias’s deal keeps shrinking. In boardroom language, silence this long stops being an oversight and starts being an answer.

Player ratings

Nobody could get near Nicolás Giraldo

Successful dribbles: 13. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Market

Alex Moreno Paz is free to find somewhere else

“I was told straight, and I would rather have it straight.” The manager at Millonarios has been clear about where Alex Moreno Paz stands, which is more than many ever get.

Squad

Rodrigo Ureña takes the match ball home

5 goals in one afternoon from one man. The other players were also present, a witness confirmed.

Match

Rodrigo Ureña leads the rout of Alianza Petrolera

15‑0, and Rodrigo Ureña took the headlines on an afternoon when everything Millonarios tried came off. Days like this are retold all winter.

Squad

A day Santiago Giordana will not forget

4 goals in one game. The first was taken well, the second was taken greedily, and by the third the crowd were simply waiting for him to get the ball.

Player ratings

Julian Angulo scores twice — 8.52

Two goals and a mark of 8.52 to go with them. Strikers are judged on afternoons like this one and remembered for far fewer of them than people imagine.

Squad

16 seasons of David Mackalister Silva

567 appearances across 16 seasons in these colours. Careers like that are not built any more, and Millonarios know what they have.

Player ratings

Both of them Alex Castro's — 7.99

2 goals, and the second was the one that settled it. Marked 7.99, and he could have had a third with better luck at the near post.

Player ratings

Darwin Quintero, 38, rolls back the years — 8.43

There is an age at which every good afternoon gets described as a throwback, which is unfair and also accurate. 8.43 at 38, and nobody on the pitch was better.

Player ratings

Sérgio Mosquera pops up at the right end — 6.95

6.95, 1 on the scoresheet, and the specific comedy of a back-four player celebrating like somebody who does this every week. He does not, and that is exactly why the ground reacted the way it did.
