Jhonder Cádiz acknowledged that the team is going through a difficult time emotionally after FIFA's decision to exclude them from the Club World Cup, which has affected their recent performance.

"Mentally, the issue of the Club World Cup has affected us a lot, it was a big shock, we did not expect it," commented the forward.

The team led by Eduardo Berizzo started the Clausura 2025 with good performance, but recently suffered three consecutive losses against Santos, Necaxa and Pumas, which prevented them from staying at the top of the table.

"We have not been mentally 100%, for whatever reason," admitted Cádiz.

Regarding the possibility of another team taking the place of León in the Club World Cup, the forward expressed his dissatisfaction. "It seems kind of ugly not to have earned it in the competition and now want to invent a match or an excuse to justify it," he affirmed.
