Tigres might have exhaled when they finally claimed the CONCACAF Champions League in December, but that triumph has not dimmed their ambitions in the subsequent Club World Cup, which continues on Sunday when they meet Palmeiras in the competition's semi-finals.
The Liga MX side has been buoyed by the goalscoring exploits of Andre-Pierre Gignac, an unlikely hero in Mexico who has endeared himself to his supporters since arriving from France.
They have reason to believe they can advance past Palmeiras in part because of Gignac's penchant for big-game contributions but also because they've outscored opponents 12-2 across their past five international matches.
