Millionaires arrived in Medellín in a climate of tension: this is how they were received

Millionaires, in the Atanasio.

This Tuesday the blue team visits Nacional in a great match in the League.

Atlético Nacional and Millonarios will play on Tuesday a key classic for their aspirations to reach the final of the Colombian league in the second day of Group A of the semi-final home runs of the Apertura Tournament.

The Verdolagas, led by Hernán Darío ‘el Arriero’ Herrera, are motivated after drawing 1-1 in their visit to Junior, but they will have to deal in this game with the loss of veteran Gio Moreno, who has been the team’s most decisive player throughout the semester.

Millonarios, meanwhile, has just beaten Atlético Bucaramanga 1-0 and is the provisional leader of the area, although he will also have to deal with a significant loss: that of the Costa Rican center-back Juan Pablo Vargas who will play the play-off of the Qatar 2022 World Cup against New Zealand.

Upon arrival in Medellín on Monday, the Millonarios squad faced a hostile climate, as a small group of fans of the Purslane team were present at the Rionegro airport, shouting insults at the footballers. No consequences were reported.

The match, a Colombian soccer classic, will be played this Tuesday from 8:05 pm, at the Atanasio Girardot.
