Gamero and Macalister accept blame after Millonarios' Copa BetPlay exit

Millonarios was eliminated from the Copa BetPlay after a 5-4 penalty shootout loss to Barranquilla FC, following a 1-1 draw, prompting coach Alberto Gamero and captain David Macalister Silva to publicly accept responsibility. Gamero apologized to fans and officials, calling the performance "ridiculous" and admitting his team was unbalanced. Macalister stated all players were "guilty of this shame," refusing to blame the referees and crediting Barranquilla for their advancement. The elimination forces Millonarios to focus on the Liga BetPlay, with both figures agreeing the result demands deep reflection. The cup loss was especially painful as it represented a key path to another title this season.
