El Clásico Joven between Cruz Azul and Club América is one of the fiercest rivalries in Mexican soccer. It's also the main event of the Liga MX Apertura 2024 semifinals as the two will meet in the playoffs for the seventh time since the turn of the century.
The Clausura 2024 final is still fresh for both fanbases. América triumphed over Cruz Azul and became back-to-back champion in a final that was defined by a controversial penalty that ended up being the difference maker, but also for Cruz Azul's inability to bury clear chances that could've changed the outcome.
