The Felinos striker started a new campaign in search of continuing to show that he is one of the best players in the Mx League, with this in mind the Frenchman won the individual scoring title with a total of 11 goals during Clausura 2022. Gignac was the fundamental piece of the Tigres' offense and continues to show that he is at a high level, if Gignac is well, so are those of the UANL and his contribution in the tournament will be fundamental for the aspirations of the people from Monterrey for the title of the MX League.
The Tigres arrive after finishing Clausura 2022 in second place in Liga MX and being left out in the Semifinals against the two-time champion Atlas. One of the most important factors for this success was the scoring championship of Andres Pierre Gignac, who went on the offensive on the shoulders and guided Miguel Herrera's men to the top of the table. The Felinos had a preseason with mixed results, falling to Santos Laguna by a score of 3-1 and defeating the Bravos de Juárez by a score of 2-1. The club is surrounded by off-field problems with players like Luis Quiñoñes, who is renegotiating his contract, and Jesús Dueñas, who went to Juárez. In addition to him, other casualties that are reported are that of Carlos Gonzáñez, Juan Sánchez and Aldo Cruz. On the other hand, the only reinforcement that has come to the team is Eduardo Tercero, from Xolos. Tigres continues to have one of the best teams in the Mx League, so the goal is still to qualify and fight for the championship.
The goalkeeper of the Machine starts a new campaign in search of continuing to accumulate a few minutes as Cruz Azul's starting goalkeeper. Jesús Corona's injury has allowed him to play since matchday 10 of the Clausura 2022 of Liga MX and this has become a wall for the people of the capital. The young Mexican goalkeeper has been a determining factor for Cruz Azul to tie the ticket to the playoffs and get his team to the Quarterfinals after the bad season on offense, his saves avoided several important defeats and meant the sum of points for that the team will reach the Liguilla. Jurado has continued to show his high level and was one of the important pieces in the consecration of the 2022 Champion of Champions title and has given signs that Cruz Azul's goal is in good hands.
Those from Cruz Azul arrive and start a new tournament later with the aim of fighting for the title again. The team played 3 preseason games, lost 2-1 against Venados FC, drew 1 goal against Atlante and kept the title of Champion of Champions against Atlas by winning the penalty shootout 4-3, after drawing to 2 goals in regular time. The team has only made one official registration, Andrés Gudiño returned to the cement team to become the third goalkeeper. For their part, 4 casualties were recorded: Adrián Aldret, Luis Ángel Mendoza, Rómulo Otero and Pablo Aguilar. The club is surrounded by great uncertainties derived from the arrest of one of its former directors, despite this the team was able to lift one more trophy.
