'It won't be long until they overtake us' - Mexico legend Marquez says Liga MX should be 'worried' about improved MLS

Longtime Mexico star Rafael Marquez says that Liga MX should be "worried" about the rise of MLS and the impact it will have on Mexican soccer.

The former defender is one of El Tri's best-ever players, having earned 146 caps between 1997 and 2018.

During his time with the senior team, Marquez became only the third player to play for his national team in five consecutive World Cups, as the 41-year-old is Mexico's all-time leader in World Cup games played with 19.
