00:00The moment where the big teams advance.
00:04Only Puro Guapo, Pumas, Chivas, Pachuca, y Cruz Azul.
00:10De esos cuatro, only two really matter.
00:12Chivas, break it down.
00:13Why are we so happy right now, my friend?
00:16Look, I'm smart.
00:17Even though, sorry, Latin Nation, we had to eliminate Tigres,
00:22el equipo de la casa.
00:23Se te perdona.
00:24Pero, I'm super happy, porque la verdad,
00:26Chivas has made it to the semifinal.
00:28When everybody thought they were done, because they lost 3-1,
00:31they make it to the semifinal versus Cruz Azul.
00:33That is going to be very, very tough, but not impossible.
00:36That's right, Chivas.
00:38And then on the other side of the bracket,
00:40we have Pumas that struggled really, really badly.
00:45I was collapsing in my couch, my friends.
00:48The second half, I was speechless, literally.
00:51I was like, I couldn't say a thing.
00:52I wasn't boastful at all, because I was really boastful
00:55for the first 20 minutes, where Pumas was decisive, my friends.
00:59Tres pepinazos al America in 22 minutes.
01:01It made my heart burst with joy, and then I was freaking out.
01:05But we advanced, and I think this was very important for the team
01:09to advance with grit and garra against el odiado rival, el America.
01:14Camila, we watched that game together.
01:16You mentioned in the previous segment the level of intensity
01:19of this quarterfinal.
01:21Do you think that Pumas learned the lesson and is ready to face Pachuca,
01:25a team that is very, very, very dangerous?
01:28Yeah, I mean, I definitely hope so.
01:29I mean, I think that's all we can do.
01:31I really thought, you know, the first 20 minutes, I was like,
01:34oh, they got it in the bag.
01:35It's going to be four.
01:36You said, oh, it's closer to Pumas scoring the fourth goal, sorry,
01:40than America scoring the first goal, and then what happened?
01:42Wow, I didn't see anything else.
01:44But that's why, you know, the game can change in the blink of an eye.
01:47It's all about the momentum, and I hope Pumas learned their lesson
01:50of keeping the momentum on their side because they really struggled.
01:53I mean, Pumas at the beginning, shot after shot, but by the end of the game,
01:57America had 16 shots compared to Pumas, seven shots.
02:00So, you know, where was the momentum?
02:02The second half, sorry, Pumas was defending the entire time.
02:05They had like seven in the back line at one point.
02:07I don't know if I call that defending.
02:08I really think that they were like surviving.
02:10Yeah, they were surviving.
02:11So, you know, on one hand, it's good that they can know how to survive,
02:16but when you're going against, you know, a team in the semifinals,
02:19you can't just be surviving.
02:21No, no, no.
02:21You have to come out.
02:22It was luck.
02:23It was all luck.
02:24It was luck.
02:24You know, Henry MaletĂn missed a penalty just like Chicharito last season
02:29with Cruz Azul to advance to the semifinals.
02:31The icons of Chivas and America both blew their chance to redeem themselves.
02:35Now, Alex, looking at your jersey, I know that you know a thing or two about being held by the
02:41refs.
02:41But in this series...
02:43That is insane.
02:44That is insane.
02:44But in this series, America got four penalties called on their favor.
02:51Out of the six goals that they scored, four were penalties.
02:54Were they fair or are we seeing like the last gasp of the Liga to maintain one of the protagonists
03:01there against all odds?
03:04I mean, they probably learned from Madrid for sure.
03:11But, you know, it sucks when the game is ultimately decided by penalties because then it comes to like,
03:17you never know if it was truly deserved or not.
03:20And with this, it's like, with penalties, you really like almost won through penalties.
03:25But then the ball don't lie.
03:27That's all I got to say because then who ended up going through?
03:30EfraĂn lo apuntĂł al cielo.
03:32He was like, los dioses del fĂștbol.
03:33Los de arriba.
03:33Let me say something.
03:34A couple of shows ago, I mentioned that for Pumas, what's going to be important was to...
03:39When they play America, it's just a mental game more than how they play or the style of football or
03:44how good they are.
03:45And we saw it in both games.
03:46On both games, Pumas had the edge.
03:48They were up by three goals.
03:50America was called one.
03:51And you can see their faces.
03:52They panic.
03:53They literally panic.
03:55But now, after beating America, I do see Pumas in the final.
03:58I think this is what's it.
03:59Es el Ășltimo monstruo que tenĂan que matar.
04:02Y lo hicieron.
04:03So, I definitely see Pumas advancing to the final, you know, after beating Pachuca.
04:09Because Pachuca had it easy with Toluca.
04:11And don't take me wrong.
04:12With Toluca, the first match, Toluca put a lot of their bench players.
04:15Because, like we mentioned before, Mohamed is focusing 100% on winning La Conca Champions.
04:21And that gives Pachuca an edge to advance to the semifinal.
04:24Now, let's talk about that, Chiba.
04:26Because that's a reality.
04:27Toluca chose CONCACAF over Liga MX.
04:30It was clear on their line-ups.
04:32It was clear on the level of effort of the players.
04:35And let me put this question to you, Camilita.
04:38What happens to a team like Pachuca that has faced lesser opposition, a team that is not playing on all
04:45cylinders,
04:45and now they have to face the best team of the season on Pumas with the learning on the importance
04:52of how you have to liquidate your opponent
04:56and not give them any chance to come back?
04:59Do you think Pachuca might be hurting of not having that level of competition in this previous round?
05:05Definitely.
05:05I mean, I think the biggest thing when it comes to, like I always say, is the mentality, right?
05:10When you go against tough opponents, you know how to, you know, build that thick skin.
05:14And so, when you go into a final, it's all about the mentality.
05:17It's all about who's going to break first.
05:18So, if you haven't been playing that competition, how are you supposed to be tough enough to go into the
05:24final?
05:24Now, Alex, there's some Argentinos in Cruz Azul.
05:27Do you think that they weigh enough to make Chiba miserable for the summer?
05:33Honestly, no.
05:35Because Cruz Azul are known for Cruz Azularla.
05:38Entonces, I mean, los Argentinos, you know, they're powerful, but with Cruz Azul magic, ugh, no.
