After a first round of mixed luck, Popular prepares for his biggest challenge: the defining challenges.
It has not been an easy year for the Chilean clubs in the Copa Libertadores, as the twosome who had to overcome an earlier stage were unable and those heartfelt eliminations from Magallanes and Curicó left only Colo Colo and Ñublense in the race, champion and vice champion respectively, and for no one the present is clear. But what is missing for Colo Colo to reach the final stage like in 2018, when Palmeiras eliminated him in the round of the best 8 on the continent.
It is still too early to make an exact calculation, but if Popular repeats its first round, it will be very difficult to reach its goal. It is worth remembering that in history the draw in Pereira, the victory against Monagas in Macul and the spirited against Boca, also in Santiago, the capital of the Andes that called a 0-2 that destroyed the plans of Gustavo Quinteros confused and cast properly. a little.
WHAT DOES COLO COLO DE QUINTEROS NEED?
With 4 points and 3 left to play, the Eternal Champion must at least make it to the 10-point line.
His route includes a trip to Maturín (May 23), La Bombonera (June 6) and he has yet to receive Pereira (June 29). If they win their two home games they have to look to the side, but it is very certain that they will make the top 16 in South America. With 7 out of 9 units, yes or yes, you qualify.
