Here are some of the main takeaways from the last week of play in the 2019 Liga MX Apertura regular season.
It’s easy to forget, but just six months ago Club León was breaking all sorts of records while finishing the 2019 Clausura with the best Liga MX regular season in modern league history. Ultimately, this all led to nothing more than a defeat to Tigres in the Final and a harsh reminder of just how unforgiving the Playoff system can be, which is why this time around Ignacio Ambriz’s men have taken a completely different approach, avoiding the “curse of the superlider” altogether and calmly finishing the regular season in second after beating Xolos de Tijuana 2-1 on Friday.
