Liga MX Kicks Off: Can Toluca Three-Peat?
11 Jan
Summary
- Liga MX Clausura season begins with Monterrey hosting Toluca.
- Toluca aims for a third consecutive league title.
- Sergio Ramos is part of the Monterrey squad.
The Liga MX Clausura season is set to commence, with clubs vying to dethrone the current champions, Toluca. The league's structure, featuring an Apertura and Clausura split with a winter break, mirrors Major League Soccer's future calendar. This opening weekend features a marquee matchup as Monterrey hosts Toluca at the Estadio BBVA.
Monterrey, who reached the semifinals last season before being eliminated by Toluca, boasts a strong squad including Sergio Ramos. Despite their quality, they haven't secured a title since 2019. Toluca, however, has emerged as a dominant force in recent seasons, driven by Paulinho's attacking prowess. They ended Club America's reign in 2025 and have continued their winning form.
Manager Antonio Mohamed is leading Toluca's pursuit of an unprecedented third consecutive title. This remarkable achievement would mark the second time in Mexico's football history that a team has achieved such a feat. Saturday's encounter is expected to be a fiercely contested match between two clubs with high aspirations for the Clausura.
