The day came when Tomás Ángel made his debut with the Atlético Nacional shirt. Although it was a few minutes and the game was already settled 5-2 in favor of the purslane, Juan Pablo’s son entered the history of the club where his father was a scorer, champion and is an idol.
With the number 21 shirt on his back, the same one his father wore in 1993. This January 30, he entered as a substitute, 21 days after his 18th birthday (February 20). Something his father also did on October 3, 21 days before his 18th birthday (October 24). Coincidences or causalities, the only thing that Tomás could not repeat like his father, was to have marked the day of his debut.
However, he has already started his history and will surely be marked by successes and titles, as achieved by the former forward of clubs such as River Plate, Aston Villa, Los Angeles Galaxy and Chivas USA.
Other parents and children who shared the colors of Nacional in professionalism were: José Fernando and David Castañeda, Julio ‘Chonto Gaviria and Julio Edgar’ Chonto júnior ‘, Francisco’ Miyuca ‘Mosquera and Miller, Nixon and Andrés Perea, Sergio’ el bocha ‘Santín and Sergio Damián, Jhon Jairo Tréllez and Santiago, Luis Carlos’ Coroncoro’ Perea and Luis Alberto.
