The long faces, the exhausted bodies, the anger, the rage, those were the reactions of the Millonarios players after the 3-1 defeat against Palestino of Chile in the Copa Libertadores. That’s how they left the field, straight to the intimacy of the bitter locker room.

Millonarios was left reeling in group E of the Libertadores Cupwith a fairly complex panorama to qualify for the next round.
Defensive errors and poor finishing condemned the blue team, which could not achieve its goal of overcoming the Chilean rival. Now Millonarios is last in the group with a single point.

A source, present there, reported that the players arrived quite crestfallen. There were messages of self-criticism and unity between them. And not to give up because they know they have to think about the game against Chico on Sunday to qualify for the League’s home runs.

However, the main message was one of great unity at this moment because “on Sunday we have to qualify.”
In general, no one assumed the spokesperson to speak apart from the coach. President Enrique Camacho was not present because he could not travel.

Silva and Cataño
To make matters worse, Millonarios is now suffering the losses of two of its references, Mackalister Silva and Daniel Catañodue to injuries.
The two players are ruled out for Sunday’s game against Chicó. Silva has muscle problems. Catano, groin problems. The club will wait 48 hours to do the respective MRIs.
