Guadalajara's presentation in the Apertura 2023 is getting closer and closer and although their first match is one with a very high difficulty factor in Mexican soccer, they will be visiting León, which has just become CONCACAF champions, a place which holds a fond memory of the last time the Rebaño visited the Nou Camp.
It was a little more than two months ago, on matchday 15 of last year's competition, when Veljko Paunovic's team thrilled the Rojiblanca Nation with a great footballing performance against Larcamón's Emeralds.
That night, Chivas won by 0-2 with goals from Pavel Pérez and Rubén González, but the main architect of the victory was Alexis Vega, who took possession of the left flank and gave us a great match thanks to his dribbling and deep passes, which ended up becoming 2 assists.
That match also meant a lot to the Rebaño, they entered a very interesting soccer dynamic, which helped them to string together 4 wins at the end of the regular season and allowed them to qualify directly to the CL23 Playoffs.
There is no doubt that this Monday's match, corresponding to Matchday 1, will be a complicated one for Veljko Paunovic's team, but if they win, they will get the tournament off to an unbeatable start, especially due to the fact that Matchdays 2 and 3 will be played at the Akron Stadium.
