Liga MX W2W4: Tigres, Chivas risk missing playoffs; Cruz Azul get Pumas after Copa MX win

With the Liga MX playoffs only weeks away, here is what we are watching this weekend:

1. Morelia win could leave Tigres on brink of missing playoffs
For all the positives that should be associated with Morelia under Roberto Hernandez, it isn’t usual for a Monarcas game to be the main talking point of the weekend, as unfair as that may be. But Morelia’s home game against Tigres on Friday is the match of the weekend and one with huge repercussions for the playoff battle.
Monarcas have won their…

Tigres midfielder Jesus Duenas reflects on what it took to overcome Toronto FC and the significance of winning the first Campeones Cup.

Tigres coach Ricardo “Tuca” Ferretti will not be allowed to join the Mexican national team on a permanent basis, the coach said on Monday in an interview.

“[Tigres president] Miguel Garza and Mr. Zambrano [owner of CEMEX] told me: ‘You’re not leaving, we want you to complete the three years we signed you for,'” said Ferretti…

Clasico Regio loses its innocence as violence overshadows Tigres vs. Monterrey

Much debate will follow the tragic events of Sunday night after the Clasico Regio. How can fans and authorities ensure that doesn’t happen again?

“We all lost.”

The bright yellow letters on the front page of one Mexican sports daily aptly summed up the sentiments after Sunday’s Clasico Regio. It wasn’t aimed at the scrappy 0-0 tie between derby rivals Tigres and Monterrey, but instead, it referred to the chilling scene ahead of the game.

Tigres trump Toronto as Reds’ woeful 2018 continues in Campeones Cup

Tigres became the inaugural Campeones Cup champions, defeating Toronto FC thanks to a pair of goals from Jesus Duenas.

Three points on Tigres’ 3-1 Campeones Cup win over Toronto FC at BMO Field on Wednesday night.

1. Tigres’ quality rises to the surface
