00:00And they did the unthinkable right away.
00:03I want to acknowledge the 5-0 trashing that they did over Cholos.
00:09We didn't thought that it was possible.
00:10I, for a moment, after the 3-0 on the Ida, I thought that they wouldn't make it.
00:15I'm going to be like Nick.
00:16I call it.
00:17You know, I said here that El Volcan iba a pesar.
00:20You know, their fans made a huge difference for Tigres.
00:23And the Wonder Kid couldn't do anything against the whole stadium.
00:27And the fact that Tigres really wants to win this championship.
00:30You can tell they want to be here in Latin Nation playing the final.
00:33Oh, the final.
00:35And we are very close, my friends.
00:37Very, very close to have a final norteña.
00:41That's right.
00:41Because Monterrey is doing its own thing.
00:44They beat Toluca 1-0 in la Ida de la semifinal, Chiva.
00:49Toluca seemed to be waiting to play at the Bombonera on the second half of this series.
00:55But Monterrey played an intelligent game.
00:58They had the opportunity to go up, maybe up to 3-0.
01:02But at the end, 1-0 was all they got from their own stadium.
01:06I mean, is 1-0 enough?
01:07We don't know.
01:08We're going to find out.
01:09But Monterrey looking pretty good.
01:10Very confident at the beginning of this Liguilla.
01:13They were looking kind of shaky.
01:15But I think the leadership of Sergio Ramos in the back is making a huge difference for a team like Monterrey.
01:20They have really good players like Tecatito Corona.
01:21And, yeah, they're playing the champion, Toluca, one of the best teams right now in Liga MX.
01:27But it's not going to be easy for Toluca.
01:29Because one thing that I've seen from Monterrey every year is that when they go to La Capital or Toluca, a la altura,
01:35they play way, way better football than what they do at home.
01:38Yeah.
01:39I mean, Monterrey is a team that knows a little bit about Toluca.
01:42They share a former coach, Mohamed.
01:44Mohamed is a coach that has done probably the best work in Liga MX.
01:51He has been champion with multiple teams.
01:53So the odds are with him to win this series.
01:55Now, Monterrey, they did it with America.
01:58Right at the very end, Bertarame came when America was already looking at them playing Chivas in the final, in the semifinal.
02:07Boom.
02:08Bertarame comes.
02:09What a header.
02:10Master class.
02:10And Monterrey is trying to get it to the final.
02:14Do you feel like they have what it takes?
02:17I mean, after seeing Toluca struggling with one of our other teams here in Latin Nation, Juarez, Toluca draw 0-0 in the quarterfinals.
02:24They struggle at home versus a team like Juarez that, you know, their goalkeeper was la figura of this game.
02:32I do see Monterrey and Tigres advancing to the final.
02:37We'll talk about Tigres later.
02:38But I do see Monterrey very convinced that they won this final.
02:42You know, they have the Spanian coach making a difference for the team.
02:45You know, they've been spending all this money.
02:47I think they're the team that spends the most money in Liga MX right now.
02:50And they have to.
02:51Sergio Ramos don't want to leave La Liga MX without a championship.
02:55Like, we saw Toluca struggle with Juarez to score against a team that, you know, entered the Liga through the back door almost.
03:04Now, let's talk about Tigres.
03:05Tigres has a very, very strong possibility to make it to the final.
03:09And if they do, I think they're the clear favorite.
03:11Not only because they're the team here at home.
03:13And they will have the semifinal here this Saturday, my friends, at 7 p.m.
03:18Tigres versus Cruz Azul.
03:20Watch it on the Latination app, on our linear channel, the broadcast LATV channel, and Chiba.
03:27We saw Bruneta exit the game earlier this Wednesday.
03:31He wasn't playing at the level that we used to.
03:33He missed a clear opportunity early in the game.
03:36But we saw other players in Tigres that they picked up the slack beautifully.
03:41The one that highlights the day, Correa.
03:45Correa, world champion with Argentina, playing at a great level with Atlético de Madrid, is now about to become champion of Liga MX.
03:55There's three games away from it.
03:57Do you think Tigres has what it takes to give us more games here?
04:00I mean, you have, of course, you mentioned Angel Correa, campeón del mundo.
04:04But you also have Diego Lainez.
04:05Diego Lainez has been playing on fire in this Liguilla.
04:09During the season, he wasn't El Factor that much.
04:13But now in Liguilla, you see when he gets the ball, I mean, the plays that he makes, the goals start from a play from Diego Lainez.
04:20I mean, you got Nahuel Guzman in the back, a goalkeeper with a lot of experience.
04:24I know the timing, when he has to drop on the floor, when he has to do all these things that he does.
04:29I do see Tigres advancing to the final.
04:31And again, I'm going to say it again, they're going to play at home.
04:34This game versus Cruz Azul is going to be at home.
04:36It's going to make a huge difference.
04:38The fans, la hinchada siempre va a marcar la diferencia en un equipo como Tigres.
04:42And I think they're going to advance to the final for all these reasons.
