Career
Colo-Colo
Millán a prodigiously gifted attacking player joined Colo Colo's youth set-up in 2003, and enjoyed a meteoric rise through the ranks. Before his first team debut Millán was promoted to the club's U-17 side, finding the back of the net three times in as many games. In 2008 he left the club to join Club Rivadavia de Lincoln in Argentina on loan, before moving on to current club Tigre in 2009, also on loan.[2] He has since returned to Colo Colo.[3]
Playing style
Millán has been dubbed the "Chilean Cristiano Ronaldo", and when asked of comparing his ability to that of the Portuguese winger Millán replied: "I think my playing style is similar to his. I enjoy using the flanks and going past defenders, and I'm particularly good at stepovers.".[4]
