Recently, the Chivas fans suffered a blow by being eliminated by America in the Concacaf Champions Cup. This event has generated a wave of criticism towards the team's president, Amaury Vergara, whose management has been questioned since he succeeded his father. Despite the criticism, Vergara has expressed his commitment to bring Chivas back to the top.
Amid the criticism, clips of Amaury Vergara discussing his plans for the team have resurfaced on social media. One of the videos that has caused controversy is from his participation in the Extravaganza 2025 event of his company Omnilife, where he mentioned: "Chivas has to be the best team in Mexico, and we are going to achieve it, I swear on my mother if we don't." These words generated various opinions among the team's supporters.
Chivas was eliminated by America at the Estadio Ciudad de los Deportes. It is worth mentioning that Vergara's controversial statement was recorded before the team’s elimination. At that time, Chivas was leading 1-0 in the round of 16 series and had tied a league match, which generated some excitement among the fans. However, days later, America defeated Chivas by scoring 4 goals in the capital and eliminating them from the competition. It is important to highlight the surprising turn of events after the initial confidence of the fans in the team.
