Liga MX is back!

After a general restructuring with Real Madrid legend Fernando Hierro as the sporting director and Veljko Paunovic as the coach, Guadalajara has the fans excited after a brilliant preseason.
With the departure of Ochoa to Italian soccer and the use of reinforcements unconvincing to their fans, doubts arose about how América will perform in this tournament. However, this team is known for always being a candidate for the title.
