Oh yes, Liga MX is back. After a short break, 16 teams were back in action at the start of the Liga MX Clausura 2017 (Jaguares v América has been postponed for the time being), each playing with a clean slate and rejuvenated hope of glory. It was a true Mexican weekend, with a whopping 23 goals scored in just eight games.

3. New Look Cruz Azul
In their first game under new skipper Francisco Jemez, Cruz Azul emerged victorious over Necaxa in a very impressive showing. With a suffocating defense, La Maquina held the apertura semi-finalists to no shots on target, and looked comfortable throughout the match. It’s been 5 seasons since Cruz Azul last made the playoffs, but early on it looks like they are more than capable of getting back to the promised land this clausura.
