Liga MX 2025/2026 Season Review
The Liga MX 2025/2026 campaign has been a thrilling affair, culminating in a nail-biting title race that saw U.N.A.M. - Pumas edge out Guadalajara Chivas on goal difference, both finishing on 36 points. Pumas' superior +17 goal difference just about trumped Chivas' +16, proving every goal does count. Cruz Azul and CF Pachuca also put in solid campaigns, finishing third and fourth respectively, comfortably ahead of the chasing pack.
European qualification spots were hotly contested, with Toluca securing fifth place and Atlas rounding out the top six, though their negative goal difference hints at some defensive frailties. Tigres UANL and Club America were neck and neck further down, both accumulating 25 points but separated by goal difference.
At the other end of the table, it was a grim season for Santos Laguna and Puebla, with just 12 and 13 points respectively, leaving them stuck at the foot of the standings. Relegation worries loom large for these sides, as defensive woes – Santos Laguna's -18 goal difference says it all – have undermined their campaigns. Meanwhile, Atletico San Luis’ J. Galvão dazzled with 26 goals, but it seems even his heroics couldn't lift the team higher up the table.
