This Sunday, at 7:45 pm, Atlético Junior will face Rionegro Águilas for date 9 of the BetPlay League. The Barranquilla team has among its concentrated players Michael Rangel, the striker that everyone asks for but was not taken into account for either the Super League or the Copa Libertadores.

This Junior match, which will only be seen on Win Sports +, does not have Teófilo Gutiérrez because he was sent off in the Super League match and because he was injured last game.

Given this absence, Luis Amaranto Perea decided to summon Michael Rangel, who had been erased in previous games and had not even gone to the substitute bench. The forward could have minutes while his departure or his continuity in Junior is defined, because with the departure of Comesaña a new opportunity opens up in the Barranquilla team.

How was Rangel in the past with Junior?

The forward has had two steps for the Barranquilla team. The first was in the second half of 2016 and the first half of 2017. His numbers at that time were like this

League 2016-II: 17 games-8 goals
South American Cup 2016: five games-zero goals
League 2017-I: six games-one goal
Copa Libertadores 2017: one game one goal
Total: 29 games and 10 goals

Then he emigrated to Kasimpasa from Turkey for six months and returned to play for one year at Atlético Bucaramanga. For the beginning of 2019 he returned to stay in Junior and this is how it was:

Superliga 2019: 1 game (29 minutes) – zero goals
Copa Libertadores 2019: four games (only one starter) -one goal
League 2019-I: 17 games (9 starters) – three goals
Total: 22 games and four goals.

His last time with Junior

His last match with the Barranquilla team was in the final of the League I-2019. Junior faced Pasto for the title in Bogotá and Rangel was not a starter in the match. He did not enter until minute 90 in the place of Teófilo Gutiérrez.

That match was defined by penalties and Rangel fired his team’s second shot. His shot ended in a goal. Junior was champion of the League, but the striker went to America and was champion again, now as a great protagonist.
