This article was translated into English by Artificial Intelligence. You can read the original version in 🇪🇸 here. The restructuring at Tigres continues, and the time has come to say goodbye to a club icon. Rafa Carioca bids farewell to the team from Monterrey after more than 7 years of defending the yellow and blue colors. 💛 𝗚𝗥𝗔𝗖𝗜𝗔5 𝗥𝗔𝗙𝗔 — Club Tigres 🐯 (@TigresOficial) May 23, 2025 "Rafa arrived in August 2017, and on December 10 of that same year, he became a league champion for the first time by winning the iconic Final Regia, leading the team from midfield. From that moment on, the Brazilian contributed to winning eight titles with Tigres: three league championships, two Campeón de Campeones, two Campeones Cup, and one Concacaf Champions League. Over nearly eight years, he played 336 matches wearing the feline jersey, competed in 16 Liga MX tournaments to become the brain of the midfield, and today he leaves as a true emblem of this team, with a guaranteed place in the Volcán's Ring of Legends." Se va del futbol mexicano el centrocampista que, desde su debut (2017), cuenta con más pases recibidos y más pases precisos en la Liga estilo definido de centrocampista, Tigres lo extrañará y también pronto, Rafa Carioca. — STATISKICKS (@statiskicks) May 23, 2025 Without a doubt, a Tigres legend is saying goodbye. 📸 KARIM JAAFAR

América could lift three trophies if they win the title
This article was translated into English by Artificial Intelligence. You can read the original version in 🇪🇸 here. América will play its fourth consecutive final in search of a four-peat, and if they defeat Toluca, they could add three new titles, accumulating nine trophies in just two years. Toluca advanced after beating Monterrey and Tigres, while América eliminated Pachuca and Cruz Azul to reach the Final of the Clausura 2025. This match will not only decide the tournament champion, but also the possibility of more titles for the azulcremas. If América wins the Clausura 2025, they would also automatically earn the Campeón de Campeones title for having won both tournaments of the cycle. If they lose to the Diablos, that title would be contested separately before the Apertura 2025. After the Grand Final, another great match is coming up. Find out the information about the Campeón de Campeones 🏆 here 👇🏼 — Liga BBVA MX (@LigaBBVAMX) May 20, 2025 The third trophy at stake would be the Supercopa MX 2025, which is awarded only when a team wins both the Apertura and Clausura. Having been champions in the last tournament and in the previous edition of the Supercopa, the Águilas would receive it without playing, and would also qualify for the Campeones Cup 2025. 📸 Hector Vivas - 2025 Getty Images

Botafogo complete deal for NYCFC star Santiago Rodríguez
NYCFC has lost one of its brightest talents as star midfielder Santiago Rodríguez officially completed his move to Brazilian outfit Botafogo. Per an earlier announcement from league insider Tom Bogert citing Vázquez, the 25-year-old talismanic figure will head to the 2024 Brasileiro champions in a deal that will net the club a whopping $17m, one of the highest outbound transfers in MLS history. Rodríguez has been ever-present for NYCFC since arriving from Uruguayan giants Nacional in 2021, starring from the club across four seasons that saw him register 24 goals and 32 assists in 116 appearances while helping the club to an MLS Cup win in his debut season as well as a Campeones Cup triumph in 2022. 'Santi has established himself as one of the best attacking midfielders in MLS. His development across the last four years with the club and his recent performances resulted in interest from teams around the world,' said New York City FC Sporting Director David Lee. 'We have a proud track record of supporting our players' journeys to help them maximize their career ambitions. While we will miss Santi's infectious personality in the locker room and his impact on the field, we wanted to support Santi's wishes while also making sure the club received appropriate compensation for a player of his caliber." NYCFC kick off their MLS campaign this evening against Inter Miami.
