Leon Two Victories Away from History
This article was translated into English by Artificial Intelligence. You can read the original version in 🇪🇸 here. La Fiera is close to breaking a record in Mexican football. The Clausura 2025 is proving to be a historic tournament for León, maintaining their position at the top of the overall table, without a single defeat after 10 matches played. The felines are just two victories away from surpassing the record of 31 points in 12 rounds, achieved by Monterrey in 2023 and Cruz Azul in 2024. Vucetich's Rayados reached this figure after defeating Tigres 0-1 in the Clásico Regio of the Clausura 2023, while Cruz Azul under Martín Anselmi achieved it in the Apertura 2024 after beating Puebla 1-2. León will aim to surpass this record in their next two matches against Santos on March 9 and Necaxa on March 14. If they manage to win both matches, they will reach 32 points, setting a new record in the Liga MX after 12 rounds. 📸 Leopoldo Smith - 2025 Getty Images

Porto hires Argentine coach Martín Anselmi with Europa League and Club World Cup challenges ahead
PORTO, Portugal (AP) — Porto hired Martín Anselmi as coach on Monday with an immediate task of getting the two-time European champion into the knockout stage of the Europa League. Anselmi also will prepare Porto for the end-of-season Club World Cup in the United States, where it has been drawn in a group with Lionel Messi's Inter Miami. Porto is in 25th place in the 36-team Europa League standings ahead of its game against Maccabi Tel Aviv on Thursday. Porto needs at least a draw to climb into the top 24 spots and earn a place in the knockout playoffs round. The 39-year-old Argentine coach signed a contract through June 2027. He was presented at a news conference by Porto president André Villas-Boas and criticized officials at his previous club Cruz Azul in Mexico, saying they didn't honor an agreement to release him. Porto is in third place in the Portuguese league and had been struggling in the Europa League, which led to coach Vítor Bruno being fired last week. Porto qualified for the expanded 32-team Club World Cup as one of Europe's 12 entries because of consistent results in the past four editions of the Champions League. Porto's other group opponents are Palmeiras and Al Ahly. ___
