That crowd has reason to gather.

The club as it stands today formed on 15 January 1961, a merger of two Manizales sides, Deportes Caldas and Once Deportivo, that had both folded after the 1951 season. It took the Deportes Caldas licence and, for a stretch, a different name, before reverting to Once Caldas in 1993. The 1950 championship belongs to that earlier incarnation; the ones that count as the modern club's own came later, in 2003 and again with both the Apertura and Finalización titles of 2009 and 2010.

None of that matches what happened in 2004. The following year brought a second final against the same Argentine opponent, this time in the Recopa Sudamericana, and again the trophy went the other way.

Goalkeeper Juan Carlos Henao built his career around Palogrande rather than around silverware alone, making more appearances for the club than anyone else. Striker Dairo Moreno went the other direction, starting out as the youngest member of that 2004 squad before becoming the top scorer in the history of the Colombian league.

In Manizales the fixture that matters most is the Clásico Cafetero against Deportivo Pereira, though Millonarios brings its own edge.
