Even though today’s loss to Tigres hurt, Gabriel Milito took a self-critical look at what happened throughout the match, while still valuing what his team has done so far in the Clausura 2026. With the Liguilla just around the corner, the Chivas DT admitted that mistakes like the ones made today can’t happen again, and made it clear they’ll double down to fix them and come out stronger for what’s ahead.
Top quotes from Gabriel Milito after Tigres
“The starts of both halves weren’t good. We did manage to improve and control Tigres, and we had some good spells. In the second half we wanted to push forward more, but the 3-1 hit us hard.”
“When it got to 3-1, the game got away from us. Even though the team always tried to be on the front foot, the opponent felt much more comfortable after extending their lead, and it became a lot harder to create danger because of the lack of space.”
“We’re on a good path, with a few setbacks we wish we didn’t have, but it’s not normal to win every game. Opponents have their own ambitions too, so looking ahead we have to learn from games like today and grow from them. From here on out, I hope we have way more positives than negatives so we can be closer to winning the rest of our matches.”
“We need to review every aspect, because if we want to keep chasing what we’re aiming for, there are things we have to fix and improve that can’t happen again. We could’ve done better today.”
“When you lose, people talk about lack of effort or attitude, but this team doesn’t lack either. What we do have are things we need to correct.”
“There was a moment in the first half where we got into the game and, through our play, managed to equalize. It felt like we were playing well.”
“We want to close out the regular season in the best way possible. Then the Liguilla will come, and we’ll see how we’re affected by players leaving for international duty. We have an idea of how many it could be, but we’ll have to face the playoffs with the squad we have—which is a very good one. I believe in my team and what it can do.”
“All three losses have been away from home. We’ve played other great matches both at home and on the road, but it’s definitely something to pay attention to, even though there are other factors.”
“If we want to achieve what we’re aiming for, we can’t give anything away—especially at the start of games, like what happened in the first 20 minutes against Toluca, and again today.”
