This weekend two regional classics will take place in Liga MX: the Clásico Regio and the Clásico Tapatío. Recently, under the pretext of the Sultana del Norte classic, Miguel Herrera, technical director of Tigres, spoke about two of the most important classics in Mexican soccer.
The confrontation between Tigres and Rayados, which will take place this Saturday, March 19 at the Volcano, is the most passionate in the opinion of ‘Piojo’, although the former coach of América also accepted that the Clásico Nacional is the one with the greatest audience and “gather more people”.
In this context, we present the five most important Mexican soccer classics ordered by their relevance:
The rivalry between América and Cruz Azul, two teams from the capital, has been growing in recent years. The Clásico Joven, as this meeting is known, began to gain relevance from the seventies. In the eighties it was baptized with this name by the journalist Gerardo Peña. They have starred in league and cup finals, the most recent in the Clausura 2013.
The Clásico Tapatío is one of the most traditional and historical confrontations in Mexican soccer. The rivalry between these squads dates back to 1916, after the founding of the red and black. The antagonism between these squads from the same city remains one of the most intense in Mexican soccer.
This is a sports rivalry that is becoming more and more intense. The two teams from Mexico City have staged a series of memorable duels. In the mid-1980s, the decibels of the Clásico Capitalino began to rise. In the last 10 years this party has gained traction.
The Clásico Regio has become in recent years the second most important classic in Mexican soccer. These two squads have dominated Liga MX for the past two decades and currently have two of the rosters and projects. The teams have met in the finals of the 2017 Apertura and the 2019 Concacaf Champions League with one title for each club.
For some reason this duel is called the Superclásico, the Clásico de Clásicos or Clásico Nacional. Chivas and América are the two most popular and winning teams in the history of Mexican soccer and their confrontations always generate expectation among fans. The rivalry of these teams arose in the late 1950s. They have met in five finals, considering league, cup and champion of champions.
