Marino, Neyser and Marimón: The young, to the rescue of the next Millionaires vs. Nacional

Millionaires will receive a National Atlético on April 13 at the Campín for a new edition of one of the most exciting classics of the Colombian football. Although this rivalry has always been hot, in recent years it has reached tension levels of the era: home runs in 2022, two finals in 2023 and a head to head for the December star in 2024. And now, in 2025, the clash turns up again engines, this time with youth flavor.

In the prelude to the encounter, the atmosphere is already heated: “These are the games you dream of playing as a child”said Andrés Llinás, central defender of Millionaires. And from the other side, Marino Hnestroza does not shrink: “I love playing against Millionaires in the Campín because the atmosphere is hostile.” The party is served and beyond the traditional names, the focus is on three young people who come to the game: Marino Hnestroza, Neyser Villareal and Luis Marimón.

Marino Hnestroza, the national jewel that shines without fear

With just 22 years, Marino Hnestroza It has become one of the most decisive players in Colombian football. Since he exploded with Atlético Nacional in 2024 under the command of Efraín Juárez, his level has been superlative. He was a key figure in the two -time championship last year, and his personality on the court has wanted it in record time by the fans of Verdolaga.

His beginning in the Conmebol Libertadores 2025 was ideal: 1 goal and 2 assists against Nacional de Uruguay made him deserve the award for the best player of the game. In the League, it accumulates 2 goals and 2 assists, but its contribution goes beyond numbers. It has that profile that the classics ask for: it does not hide, always faces, plays with self -confidence and is worth brain. It is the type of player who does not negotiate the attitude and that can tip the balance in this type of shock.

Neyer and Marimon, the youth rebellion of the Millionaires beaten

On the other side of the story, Millionaires arrives with the need to rebuild in the middle of a turbulent semester. Radamel Falcao, Santiago Giordana and Leonardo Castro, added to a general downturn of the referents, forced coach David González to look down. And there, between the need and urgency, a ‘Kinder’ appeared with character.

NEYER VILLARREAL, With 19 years, he came from standing out with the Colombia Sub-20 National Team, but it did not take place in the team. However, in a matter of weeks the position was won with delivery and talent: 2 assists in 4 games and a place secured in the starting eleven. Although his future seems to be abroad, nothing is kept and wants to leave a mark with the blue shirt.

Next to him, Luis Marimón It is not far behind. With 21 years, He already has 3 goals in his last 3 games. He has shown that his is the goal, as he had already done in the lower club. His appearance came as a ray of hope in the midst of difficulties, and although he barely has 4 games with the professional team, he already excites his ability to define.

A classic with youth present and promising future

Millionaires vs. Nacional is always synonymous with emotions, but this time there is an additional seasoning: young talent. Amid the urgencies of some and the good moment of others, figures such as Hnestroza, Neyser and Marimón come to refresh a historical rivalry that does not lose validity.
