Álvaro Montero

Álvaro Montero emerged as one of South America's most watchable goalkeepers during his time at Deportes Tolima and Millonarios, earning a reputation for shot-stopping reflexes and vocal organisation of his defence. His performances in the Colombian league attracted attention that eventually led to a move to Vélez Sarsfield in Argentina. For the national team, he competes for the backup role behind the established hierarchy, but his athleticism and confidence under pressure make him a credible option. At 31, he is experienced enough to step in without disrupting Colombia's rhythm should circumstances demand it.
