For the past three seasons, Liga MX has revolved around one team: América. Las Águilas boast three consecutive titles and, by far, are the club with the most championships in Mexico, with 16. For this FIFA break, three América players were omitted from their national teams: Henry Martín, Erick Sánchez, and Alejandro Zendejas, meaning this list could have been even larger.
The players coached by André Jardine held an open-door training session on Wednesday, with Zendejas practicing alongside his teammates. However, Martín was absent due to ongoing muscular issues.

Cristian Calderón expressed his pride in being part of the team, saying "América is the biggest team in Mexico, and we proved it."
WHAT NEXT FOR AMÉRICA?
Las Águilas will look to continue their great form on March 29 when they host Tigres in Matchday 13 of the Clausura 2025. The Felinos, who recently appointed Guido Pizarro as their new coach, are in third place in the tournament with 25 points.
