December's Liga MX final between Monterrey and Tigres once again sparked a conversation about which Liga MX teams are truly "grandes." There are four: Club America, Chivas, Cruz Azul and Pumas. Only one, America, made the semifinals.
When Chivas host Cruz Azul on Saturday night in the Clausura's first meeting between grandes, we'll see two clubs desperately seeking to get back to the consistent success that made them part of the group in the first place.
Chivas at least have a title in recent memory, winning the league in last year's Clausura and adding that season's Copa MX title for good measure.
