We know that the replay of the 2017 Grand Final between Chivas and Tigres has the entirety of Mexican soccer excited, but especially the Rojiblanca Nation that already dreams of repeating the feat of 6 years ago to be able to celebrate one more title for our beloved Chivas.
And what do you think, Chiva Hermanos? Well, looking at the history of the Liguilla rivalry between the red and white and the auriazules, we found two facts that make us even more excited, since El Rebaño have NEVER lost a game in the Final Phase against Tigres, in addition to the fact that in the 3 previous games, Guadalajara have always won the series.
The first meeting in the so-called Fiesta Grande dates back to 2007, when the team coached by 'Chepo' de la Torre defeated the universitarios in both games of the Quarter-Finals to win 6-3 on aggregate.
The second previous meeting between Chivas and the regios took place at the same stage, but in the 2011 Clausura, when Chivas managed the feat of eliminating the 'fearsome' Tigres, who had finished as super-leaders of the championship, 4-2 on aggregate.
The most recent and most remembered by the Rojiblanca Nation is the Grand Final of the Clausura 2017. Matías Almeyda's Chivas faced André-Pierre Gignac's Tigres and the most popular and beloved team in our country kept its date with history by winning 4-3 on aggregate, thus culminating a dream semester in which it also won the Copa MX title.
