For the second consecutive year, El Clásico Nacional will compete in the Concacaf Champions Cup.
The 2025 Concacaf Champions Cup round of 16 matches are highlighted by the fiercest rivalry in Mexican soccer.
In the Concacaf Champions Cup round of 16, Club América and Chivas will play each other in a continental Clásico Nacional for the second consecutive year. In 2024, América eliminated Chivas from the competition with a resounding 3-0 victory at home in the first leg.
This time around, the storyline is essentially the same, with América emerging as the clear favorite to reach the quarterfinals.
Having won three straight titles and appearing to be the favorites to win a fourth this season, André Jardine’s team has dominated Liga MX for the previous year and a half. Conversely, Chivas is having trouble; they recently dismissed their manager and are currently in a poor 10th place in the Clausura 2025 standings.
Although the two sides are headed in different directions, anytime one of the continent’s greatest rivalries rekindles, all bets are off. Here is all the information you require prior to the Concacaf Champions Cup round of 16 first leg, which is the first El Clásico Nacional of the year.
