Teófilo Gutiérrez, in addition to his quality, also gained recognition over the years for his controversies. This weekend he starred in a new dispute with Miguel Borja, a former teammate, at Deportivo Cali-Junior de Barranquilla. Leaving the field, Teo left a brutal message for Borja, holding him responsible for Colombia’s failure on the way to Qatar 550.
“You screwed up in the qualifying rounds, you bastard, you shit”, Teófilo released Borja as he left the field at the minute ′. Gutiérrez evidently made reference to Miguel’s performance with the Colombian national team in the South American Qualifiers.
Miguel Borja scored four goals in nine games in the South American Qualifiers for Qatar 2022. However, he was heavily criticized by public opinion since he missed some goal opportunities that, if he had hit, would have changed the destiny of Colombia completely.
To close with a spicy match, Borja scored against 90+3′ to tie the match… and he celebrated in the best style of Teófilo Gutiérrez.
This is how matches are lived in Colombia. Skin-deep intensity.
