Once Deportivo from El Salvador was proclaimed champion after their tournament was canceled due to Covid-19 and Cruz Azul does not want to win that way.
El Salvador, Mexico and many other countries from the regions decided to suspend their soccer leagues due to the coronavirus pandemic. A few days ago the El Salvadoran Soccer Federation confirmed the cancellation of the current semester and they decided that Once Deportivo was the champion because they were at the top of the table.
If the Liga MX decided to adopt the same norm, then that would mean that Cruz Azul will be the new champion and they will get their first league title after 23 years. After the possibility of them being proclaimed champions, Cruz Azul used their Twitter account to express that they are not interested in winning that way.
“Thank you but we are not interested in winning the Clausura 2020 the same way Once Deportivo won it. Our objective is to make it the final and win it. Let's go Blues.”
The last game that Cruz Azul played was against America in the ‘Clasico Joven’ and they won 1-0 at the Aztec stadium to maintain the number one spot before the semester was postponed. Currently they have one more point than Leon and four more than Santos and America.
