Atlético Nacional still regrets being eliminated from the 2020 BetPlay League at the hands of América de Cali. Although it had a disputed year, with the departure of Juan Carlos Osorio on the way, the purslane aspired to go to the semifinals after winning in Cali and reaching the second leg of the quarterfinals with an advantage; but the covid-19 in the campus affected and was left out. For this reason, in the leadership they have already started working in the team for next year.
However, 2021 will also depend on whether Nacional manages to qualify for the Copa Libertadores, because now it depends on the results in the semifinals of the Colombian championship and can only do the math and watch the matches, to try to reach the previous phase of the maximum tournament of clubs on the continent.
The Antioquia team cannot qualify for the group stage, as only the finalists of the League will advance to that honorable position. Thus, it would have a prize to advance to the previous phase. But it is not easy, because América de Cali and Equidad could leave him empty-handed … or not empty, as he would qualify for the Copa Sudamericana.
These are the National accounts:
This is the reclassification table
Santa Fe: 43 points
Junior: 39
National: 38 *
Tolima: 37 *
Food: 37 *
America: 36
Equity: 36
Cali 35 *
* Deleted
In this way, Nacional must be entrusted to Santa Fe (against Equidad) and Junior (against América de Cali) in the semifinals. Both teams will have to qualify without losing either of the two key games.
If América and Equidad win a match, they will take Nacional out. If only one of the two teams adds 3 points and the other does not, Nacional would advance as Colombia 4 to the previous phase.
In summary, Santa Fe and Junior would have to add 4 of the 6 points in the semifinals to guarantee Nacional a place in Libertadores.
