The shooter adds another title in River with the ‘Muñeco’ Gallardo: 2 Cups, 2 Super Cups, a Cup Winner Cup and a Copa Libertadores.

They have been with River for four years and give everything they need to join the national team.

The Colombian attacker knows that the competition is tough. To earn a place at the forefront of the national team, you have to compete against impressive numbers, those of Falcao, those of Duván Zapata, Luis Fernando Muriel, Luis Díaz, among others; But the 25-year-old knows that the goal average of recent years is his deadly weapon: in 2019 he played 36 games and scored 18 goals, in 2020 he played 14 games and scored 6 goals, this 2021 he will only have 5. played. games and collect 2 goals.
Santos Borré already made his debut with the national team, two friendlies in the United States in 2019 allowed him to wear the Colombian shirt, but in 2020, during the first dates of the qualifying round for the World Cup in Qatar, the striker caught Covid that may not be taken into account by the coach at that time (Queiroz).
