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.
