Atlético Nacional inaugurated the wall of purslane legends with five names, but without a doubt, for many of the fans, there will be a lack of space for those who deserve a plaque there.

The tribute went to Francisco ‘Pacho’ Maturana, Víctor Hugo Aristizábal, Macnelly Torres, René Higuita and Andrés Escobar, the latter represented by ‘Sachi’.
Everyone already has their place on the wall of the team’s legends, in which many more of those who helped build the history of the most-time champion will surely be registered in the future.
Through social networks, the fans spoke out and many asked for other names in that seat of honor.
One, who in addition to being a fan was part of the great history of the green paisa, was Jhon Jairo ‘la Turbina’ Tréllez, who did not hide his surprise and expressed it in X
What did Tréllez say about the tribute to legends?
Through his X account, Jhon Jairo ‘la Turbina’ Tréllez, winner of the Copa Libertadores with Atlético Nacional in 1989, referred to the tribute to several legends.
The former purslane player wrote that “those in green do not invite those who really made history, but they are not going to hide history.”
Some followers of the green paisa responded to him, some supporting him and others distancing themselves from the former forward’s position.
The tribute, held last Tuesday, April 30, was for five figures.
What many agree on is that a tribute could not be made for the many purslane idols.
Some even criticized that the statement seemed to ignore those honored such as Maturana, Aristi, Macnelly, René and Escobar.
And for Tréllez, they were not called ‘those who really made history’, an exact expression with which many do not agree.
The wall, as you can see, has a lot of space available and will surely continue to be occupied by other big purslane names.
