America champion of the Campeones Cup!
Have you congratulated him yet?
It is not America’s fault that the trophy is up for grabs or not. What is truly important is that a team like America always goes for everything, regardless of the tournament or trophy in dispute.

América’s 5th title in 16 months. The latter has no official value, but it does have emotional value.
5 titles for Jardine, who knew how to make an extremely talented team into winners.
Each to their own, but what a job by Hector Gonzalez, Santiago Baños, and Andre Jardine. pic.twitter.com/5C8C982Fmb

The tears are a reflection of the enormous pressure that Araujo is under as the collector who hands the title to América.
