Liga MX Apertura Week 17: The Liguilla is set as Cruz Azul finish “superlider”

Here are your five conclusions from the seventeenth week of play in the 2018 Liga MX Apertura.

Cruz Azul finish as “superlider”

There was never a question about it. Cruz Azul were the most consistent team across the regular season and officially put a seal on their “superliderato” by beating Monarcas Morelia 2-0. Morelia had one final chance to finish the season in the top-eight, but Robert Hernandez’s men were just not good enough to beat a Cruz Azul team that deservedly finished the Apertura as the top seed.

For Cruz Azul, the real season now starts.
