The term ‘campeonitis’ is an unofficial term that tries to describe the current champion team who has gotten off to a slow start the ensuing season, usually lagging in effort and and discipline, due to them coming off a recent championship run just a month earlier. León are the current Liga MX champs. Last Friday, they suffered their third loss of the season, tied for the most in any season since the arrival of Ambriz back in late 2018. Except now, they’re only 5 games in to the season.
After suffering an open weekend loss in Estadio Universitario by 2-0 to Tigres, they came back home to face their brother club, Pachuca, in a match that ended scoreless.
