The Leagues Cup has been a nightmare for Guadalajara Chivas. Despite the team's expectations and tradition, the team has not been able to advance beyond the group stage in any edition since its debut in international competition. In the current edition, Chivas was eliminated again in the first phase after losing 1-0 to FC Dallas and falling in penalties in its debut against LAFC. Despite the team's good moments, the lack of decisiveness in front of the rival goal has condemned the red-and-white team. Chivas' negative streak in the Leagues Cup dates back to 2019, when the team did not participate in the competition. Since then, the team has suffered a series of defeats and eliminations in the group stage. The only joy for the fans came in 2025, when the team beat FC Cincinnati 2-1 with goals from Efraín Álvarez and Armando “Hormiga” González, marking their first win in regular time within the tournament. However, that result was not enough to reverse the trend and the tapatío team was eliminated again in the initial stage. Over four years, Chivas' passage through the Leagues Cup has been marked by a lack of decisiveness and the impossibility of translating draws into wins in penalty shootouts. Chivas' elimination in the Leagues Cup will not affect its participation in the next edition of the CONCACAF Champions Cup, as the team has secured its presence in the competition. However, the immediate challenge for the team will be to work on decisiveness in front of the rival goal, as the lack of effectiveness has been one of the main obstacles in their recent matches. The last duel of the group stage against Seattle Sounders presents a key opportunity for the team to regain confidence and regain positive sensations. A good result against the American team could serve as a morale boost before facing Santos Laguna this weekend in the Liga Mx.
