The 3️⃣ key players behind Cruz Azul's title triumph
Blue cross and their football shone at the Olympic University Stadium and, to celebrate the title of the sky blues, we make a count of the three protagonists of the championship, although three are short...
Vicente Sánchez
The still coach of Cruz Azul led them to the seventh title of the Concacaf Champions Cup, in a semester of madness for La Máquina after the sudden departure of Martín Anselmi. The incredible thing is that the coach will not continue in command of the sky blues.
Ignacio Rivera
The captain opened the scoring against Vancouver Whitecaps and also, won his fourth title with the sky blue institution: Liga MX, Champion of Champions, Super Cup of Liga MX and today, the Champions Cup.
Ángel Sepúlveda
"El Cuate", "El Ángel del Gol"... Sepúlveda was key in tonight's duel, as he was crowned with the sky blues and with a double collaborated in the championship of Cruz Azul. He also became the top scorer of the tournament with nine goals.

5 police officers dead after being "attacked and ambushed" in Mexico; patrol vehicle set on fire
Why Trump is pushing military help for Mexico to help fight cartels Why Trump is pushing military help for Mexico Why Trump is pushing military help for Mexico Five police officers died Monday after they were ambushed by an armed group in the southern Mexican state of Chiapas, on the border with Guatemala, local officials said. The attack happened in the town of Frontera Comalapa, where the Chiapas state police officers were on patrol when they were ambushed. "Members of the state police were attacked and ambushed," the governor of Chiapas, Eduardo Ramirez, said on social media. Ramirez identified the slain officers as Guillermo Cortés Morales, Jesús Sánchez Pérez, Joel Martínez Pérez, Brenda Lizbeth Toalá Blanco and Pedro Hernández Hernánde. The local Security Secretariat said it had deployed more than 1,000 officers to "attend to the situation and guarantee security in the area." Five police officers died Monday after they were ambushed by an armed group in the southern Mexican state of Chiapas, on the border with Guatemala, local officials said.

Later, the agency announced on social media they had arrested a man in connection to the murders. Authorities said the suspect was hiding in the weeds about half a mile from the crime scene, carrying an AK-47 rifle and a backpack with military uniforms. Officials did not immediately give information about other possible suspects. In recent months, Chiapas has been shaken by a bloody turf war between the Sinaloa Cartel and the Jalisco New Generation cartel — the country's two most powerful criminal organizations. Chiapas has been described by the InSight Crime think tank as "a major smuggling hub of both drugs and migrants." In December, authorities said they recovered more than 30 bodies from pits in Chiapas.

James Gunn Reveals He'd Like to See PEACEMAKER Go Head-to-Head With BATMAN in His DCU — GeekTyrant
James Gunn has planned out a handful of exciting movies and TV series to kick off his DC Universe, but he still has a ton of characters and team-ups to play with as he moves into his future phases. We will most likely have to wait until Comic-Con to hear more than what we currently know about the DC slate, but in the meantime, Gunn mentioned one interesting head-to-head he would like to see go down. During an appearance this past weekend at CCXP 2025 in Mexico City, CBM reports that Gunn and Peacemaker star John Cena were asked who they'd like to see Christopher Smith, aka Peacemaker, battle in the DCU. While Cena did not provide an answer, Gunn enthusiastically responded he wants to see Peacemaker fight the Dark Knight himself, Batman. It's easy to think Bruce Wayne would beat Christopher Smith no problem (James Gunn himself supports the idea). However, it's worth noting that, while the Caped Crusader is a trained killer, Peacemaker is one as well. He may be goofy, but he knows very well how to hurt someone when he needs to, so he'd likely give Batman a good challenge. Will this happen? It's difficult to say, especially with The Brave and the Bold having no release date as of yet. However, it's an exciting possibility that Gunn could realistically be planning to make a reality. Would you like to see this fight go down? Peacemaker Season 2 will be released on August 21, 2025.
