Below we will tell you how the team led by André Jardine would start for the first leg of the Concachampions semifinals against Pachuca:
Goalkeeper: Luis Malagón – Malagón has a superlative level since the last tournament and continues to earn merits to compete for ownership in the Mexican National Team.
Right back: Israel Reyes – Reyes is showing his best version since he arrived at the Águilas. Surprisingly, he is not doing it as a center back but as a winger. He provides defensive solidity.
Central defender: Igor Lichnovsky – The Chilean is a strange success story. He came to the Eagles as a less-than-hopeful reinforcement and ended up becoming a key piece in the background.
Central defense: Sebastián Cáceres – The Uruguayan team has looked more sober and mature during the last two tournaments. He forms a great duo with Lichnovsky.
Left back: Cristian Calderón – Calderón arrived at El Nido involved in controversy after the departure of Chivas. 'Chicote' was the side that América had been looking for for several tournaments.
Central midfielder: Jonathan dos Santos – Although he recently announced his retirement from the Mexican National Team, the truth is that with the level he currently brings, he could easily compete for a position on Jaime Lozano's team.
Central midfielder: Diego Valdés – The Chilean midfielder is the link between the midfield and the forward line. He has been in a big way in recent seasons.
Central midfielder: Álvaro Fidalgo – The Spanish midfielder knew how to recover mentally after making a fatal mistake in the Clausura 2023 semifinal. Fidalgo provides balance.
Far right: Alejandro Zendejas – Zendejas is one of Jardine's favorites. At the beginning of the season he had a slump in his game, but he is getting closer to the best version of himself.
Left winger: Julián Quiñones – The Colombian has had a lot of wear and tear this season and some physical discomfort. His numbers with the Eagles are impressive.
Center forward: Henry Martín – While the novel about the renewal of his contract continues, Martín is focused on what he does: scoring goals.
