Cruz Azul was crowned Liga MX champions on Sunday, May 24, 2026, achieving its long-awaited tenth star by defeating Pumas UNAM with an aggregate score of 2-1. The decisive goal was scored by Rodolfo Rotondi in the 95th minute, completing an epic comeback that started with an own goal by Rubén Duarte in the 54th minute. This victory marked a milestone for the club, which had not won a title since the Clausura 2021. Former player Joel Huiquí took over as interim head coach and led the team to finish the tournament with an impressive record of five wins, two draws, and no losses. The final, held at the Estadio Olímpico de Ciudad Universitaria, was a historic event, breaking viewership records with over 10 million spectators. Cruz Azul, which finished the season in third place, achieved a significant revenge for several players who had suffered defeat in the 2024 final against Club América. The celebration of the tenth title also commemorated the ninth star won in 2021, a moment that will remain etched in the memory of the Cementeros fans.
