Club América finish as the very best

Make no mistake about it. Club América are deserved champions. To put things into perspective, Club América finished the season unbeaten in their last 17 Liga MX matches. Their last defeat actually came on August 22 against Club León in Week 11.

América also finished the regular season with the best offense and the second best defense. Their road to the title led them through two clasicos, and they outscored their opponents 14-6 in the Liguilla.
