Next Sunday, May 19, on the field of the Ciudad de los Deportes stadium (formerly Estadio Azul), in Mexico City, the Blue Cross Celestial Machine will receive a visit from Monterrey Soccer Clubfor the match corresponding to the second leg of the semifinals for the Clausura 2024 tournament.
The first leg ended 1-0 in favor of Cruz Azul, with a goal from Rotondi in the thirty-fourth minute of the first half. It should be noted that the framework of the celestial triumph was a ”strange” lineup for many, due to last-minute absences. Now the cement workers can lose even by a goal difference and they would still be in the final.

Cruz Azul would be ninety minutes away from entering a new final for the Mexican championship. Although in 2021 they already ended their streak of more than twenty years without a league title, there are some outstanding debts that the celestial fans would like to settle, among them the two finals lost against the azulcremas, especially the one in 2013, in the one who were very close to lifting the trophy and had it snatched away at the last minute.
Goalie: Kevin Mier

The Monterrey Soccer Club would also be very close to playing a new final for the Mexican championship. The last time they reached one, it was in the 2019 Apertura tournament and they emerged champions in the legendary Azteca stadium. In the event that the other key is also overcome by the azulcremas, those from Coapa would have their revenge. It should be noted that Fernando: the ‘Tano’ Ortíz, as a coach, has never been able to reach a final in the Liga MX or any other tournament. The semi-finals? The biggest ghost of him.
Goalie: Esteban Andrada
Defenses: Jesús Gallardo, Víctor Guzmán, Stefan Medina, Gerardo Arteaga
