Emilio Azcárraga aims cheeky dig at Chivas and Cruz Azul
América had a tough end to the season, as they added a defeat against Toluca in the Liga MX and against LAFC in a single match for the last ticket to the Club World Cup, followed by a thrashing from San Diego FC.
After this series of unfortunate events, Emilio Azcárraga admitted the first half of the year for the Águilas as a "failure" and also took the opportunity to take a jab at Chivas.
"América is here to win titles. Not winning is a failure. I prefer to be in the failure of not having won a four-peat than in what others do," he said to TUDN microphones.

"I have seen interesting memes, one for example says: 'I did see my team win a three-peat, my grandfather didn't have to tell me about it,' which I find very amusing and it's a great truth, because what was done was very impressive," he concluded.
América was proclaimed as the first three-time champion in the history of short tournaments, joining the list of Chivas and Cruz Azul who achieved the three-peat between the late 1950s and 1974.
