Player to watch: Rogelio Funes Mori

The 2024/25 Liga MX campaign has been a very disappointing one for Rogelio Funes Mori so far. He scored only once in 24 Liga MX matches and we find it difficult to believe he will find Rayados’ net this week. After all, Rayados now have Sergio Ramos on their side.

Second player to watch: Sergio Ramos

Ramos scored the equalizer for his team in the match against Cruz Azul at Estadio Ciudad de los Deportes. It seems that despite his age, the former Real Madrid player still has what it takes to compete at the highest level possible.
