I spoke with Mariano Trujillo, former Liga MX left back and current analyst on FOX Sports, about the upcoming Liguilla matchups.
I started by asking if he thought eighth seed Tijuana could defeat the top seed León and if there was a rivalry between the two clubs.
“There is a rivalry obviously because of what happened in the Ascenso MX. They do have some rivalry going on between them,” he said. As far as León’s chances however he was less certain. “To be honest, I don’t know. I’m a little skeptical about León. I know the had a great season, they had an amazing 12 victories in a row, but the Liguilla is a different tournament.
