1. León the Frontrunner for Guard1anes 2020 Title
This past Saturday marked the two-year anniversary of Nacho Ambriz’s first day in charge of Los Esmeraldas. The ex-América and Necaxa tactician has proved a perfect fit for the Bajío-based outfit, who have gone from strength to strength since the beginning of the Clausura 2019. They finished that campaign as superlíder with a whopping 41 points and collected 33 more on the way to placing second in the Apertura 2019 regular season.
Yet, León have shrunk under the bright lights of the liguilla, with disappointing eliminations at the hands of Tigres and Morelia, leaving Liga MX’s great entertainers without a trophy to show for their exploits.
