Juan Cuadrado has returned to Colombia to join Millonarios following a career in Italy. 

In his debut for Millonarios, Cuadrado played 60 minutes during a rescheduled Liga BetPlay match against Independiente Medellín at the Atanasio Girardot stadium. The match ended in a 2-2 draw. Millonarios initially took the lead in the 24th minute following an own goal by Luis Escorcia, but Medellín responded through Hayen Palacios in the 39th minute. Leonardo Castro restored the advantage for the visitors just before halftime, though Medellín eventually equalized in the 53rd minute via Nivaldo Erazo.

Following the match, Millonarios coach Alberto Gamero expressed satisfaction with the team’s ball possession and collective evolution, but voiced concerns regarding defensive vulnerabilities during set pieces. The result leaves Millonarios in third place with 21 points and Medellín in fifth with 20 points in the league standings.
