La Liga MX will return to activity today with the start of matchday 4 of the Clausura 2025. One of the most anticipated clashes of the regular phase will be when León hosts Chivas at the Nou Camp Stadium. This match has generated high expectations among football fans, as two outstanding players who were part of Real Madrid, James Rodríguez and Javier Hernández, will be present on the field.
Both players coincided at Real Madrid after the 2014 Brazil World Cup, where together they conquered the Club World Cup of that season. Almost a decade after their time at the Santiago Bernabéu, the most media-friendly figures from Colombia and Mexico in the last decade will meet again at the Nou Camp Stadium. In this match, more than achieving three points, the honor of both footballers will be at stake, as they seek to lead their teams to victory.
Javier Hernández, known as CH14, has returned to Chivas as a star signing after his successful stint in Europe, but he has not been able to replicate his level shown at Manchester United and Real Madrid. The all-time top scorer for the Mexican National Team has struggled to score since his return to the team, compounded by muscle injuries that have limited his participation in several matches, making him the subject of criticism from red-and-white supporters.
On the other hand, James Rodríguez arrived in Liga MX with great expectations and, despite having had little activity in the last semester with Rayo Vallecano, he has been fundamental for the León team. His experience has contributed dynamism, goals, and has helped improve the relationship between fans and the club's management. Additionally, Rodríguez remains motivated as he is still considered by the Colombian National Team for the 2026 World Cup, where he is the team captain.
Despite the contrasting situations of both players, the match between León and Chivas will be an excellent opportunity for fans to enjoy the talent of two of the most prominent figures from the continent in the last decade. While James seeks to continue shining with the Esmeraldas, Chicharito hopes to restore greatness to Guadalajara in an exciting match that promises to be spectacular for football lovers.
