Only weeks ago Chivas was fighting against relegation. Now, improbably, it's the favorite to win Liga MX, writes Jon Arnold.
Chivas fans must be pinching themselves. The nightmare that plagued a club that is Mexico's most supported and — as the team will waste no time in reminding you — one of the country's most important, has turned into a dream.
Poor decision after poor decision saw the club risking relegation this campaign, something almost incomprehensible in Mexico's system that relegates just one side every two tournaments.
Now, only a month after clinching safety in the top division, Chivas has turned into the favorite to win the league.
