Goalkeeper: Esteban Andrada: Rayados’ goalkeeper is one of the best in the entire Liga MX, especially in terms of starts. A championship team is built from the bottom up.
Right back: Stefan Medina: The Colombian defender will return to the position in which he performs best. As a winger, Medina is accurate in his marking and goes on the offensive when the moment warrants it.
Central defense: Víctor Guzmán: The ‘Toro’ did not have the confidence of Fernando Ortiz, but he has earned minutes by hand over the weeks.
Central defense: Sebastián Vegas: Next to Guzmán you will find Sebastián Vegas. The defender, who can play both as a center back and as a left back, forms a good tandem with the ‘Toro’.
Left back: Jesús Gallardo: The left back has had a great campaign in the Apertura 2023, despite the controversy in the duel against América. He has looked good on both offense and defense.
Central midfielder: Luis Romo: The Mexican midfielder is rediscovering his best level. Romo helps in the recovery and also adds well to the attack when needed.
Central midfielder: Omar Govea: Govea is a player with a low profile, but he has gone down very well in Monterrey. The América youth player is distinguished by his sacrifice and his ability to associate.
Right middle: Jesús Corona: The ‘Tecatito’ Corona still doesn’t show everything he can do. He arrived for the Apertura 2023 and has not yet shown his best football.
Middle left: Maximiliano Meza: The Argentine midfielder is one of the experienced players in a team plagued by injuries. Maxi has three goals and four assists.
Center forward: Rogelio Funes Mori: ‘El Mellizo’, despite all the criticism, is having a good season. Funes Mori has six goals and two assists in 13 games.
Center forward: Germán Berterame: Berterame has missed a good part of the season due to an injury. In seven games, Berte has four goals and one assist.
