Millonarios debuts in the Copa 2025 facing Real Cartagena at El Campín stadium, in a match valid for the first leg of Phase 1B. The return match will be at the end of August and the winner of the series will face Envigado in the next round.
The team led by David González arrives at this match amidst uncertainty and protests from its fans due to the poor results at the start of the semester.
However, they arrive as favorites against the First Division B team led by Sebastián Viera, and if they fulfill their favoritism, it can be the first step to start changing the direction of the team. The ambassador team has a lot to play for tonight.
The reactions on social media have not been very favorable (to say the least) to some of the decisions made by Millonarios’ coach, who lines up Diego Novoa in goal and three center-backs in defense: Arias, Llinás, and Vargas; with Navarro and Alex Castro on the wings, and the duo Del Castillo and Arévalo in midfield; Beckham Castro, Giordana, and Marimón in attack.
