América off to a start reminiscent of their double title run | OneFootball

Club América has had a rather irregular start to the tournament, with more losses than wins and currently outside the playoff qualification zone.

This has led many fans of the team to believe that the tournament is already lost and that the best option would be to focus entirely on the Concachampions in an attempt to salvage something this semester.

But the most recent precedent tells us that not all is lost. Not too long ago, in the Apertura 2024 tournament, when they won the back-to-back championship, the team had a very similar start to the tournament.

On that occasion, in the first nine matches, they recorded four wins, four losses, and one draw, with 12 goals scored and 10 conceded, for a total of 13 points. In the end, they finished the season in eighth place, entering the Play-in, and went on to win the Liga MX championship.

Will history repeat itself?

Currently, they have three wins, four losses, and two draws, with nine goals scored and nine conceded, having 11 points.

And while it’s true that the tournament is similar, it’s really hard to believe that history will repeat itself, since the quality of the squads is very different in both seasons.

In that tournament, they had players like Julián Quiñones, Richard Sánchez, Diego Valdés, and others who are still on the team but were at a much higher level, such as Henry Martín and Jonathan dos Santos.

Today, while it’s true that there are quality players, it has been difficult to find a playing style since many of them are in poor form and, in addition, there have been constant injuries.
