Club América will host Chivas at the Estadio Azteca on Saturday night in the highlight fixture of not only the weekend but the entire Liga MX season, as the two historic rivals write the latest chapter of El Clásico Nacional.
The two most popular, successful and historic teams in all of Mexican soccer have formed one of the most passionate rivalries in all of Latin American soccer since they first met in 1943. More than three points are on the line whenever América and Chivas meet—losing El Clásico Nacional is simply unforgivable.
