TThe New England Patriots are back in the NFL Championship Game and the stage is set for Super Bowl LX. The opponent will be the Seattle Seahawks, a familiar foe looking for revenge after 11 years of nurturing.
On February 1, 2015, at the then-University of Phoenix Stadium in Glendale, Arizona, an improbable and heartbreaking interception in the end zone by then-unknown Malcolm Butler handed already-legendary quarterback Tom Brady his fourth Vince Lombardi Trophy, brutally ending what had already seemed like a championship for Russell Wilson’s team and the defense known as “The Army of Boom.”

Taako Mohamed became champion before Super Bowl Patriots vs. Seahawks
The cycle is round, i.e. returns to the starting place. This study proves this concept, as it is worth remembering what was happening in Liga MX back then. The reigning champion (Apertura 2014) was Club América, but that is not the important fact. Let’s not forget that the coach of the Coapa team in that final was Antonio “Turco” Mohamed. He is the one who led Toluca to the championship today, the one who won it at the expense of Tigres UANL, who in both cases were and still are the losers in the final.
But here comes a prediction that virtually no one expected, MARCA You’ll read it for the first time on MX, but the Clausura 2015 was held the following term, and one of the most improbable finals in at least the short history of the tournament took place, with Ronaldinho appearing when no one expected him to make it to the Gallos Blancos del Queretaro, and qualifying for the final tournament in sixth place alongside Victor Manuel Vucetic. In a play-off and a fairy-tale story, they reached the final against Guerreros de Santos Laguna and finished eighth in the overall standings.
Will a new champion appear in Liga MX? Incredible predictions for Patriots vs. Seahawks in the Super Bowl
Queretaro’s dream of winning their first title was dashed when they suffered a 5-0 defeat in the first leg against their former club Estadio Corona, thanks to four goals from Javier Orozco. Despite the famous “Culetita” scoring four goals and trying to fight back hard in the second leg with a 3-0 win in La Corregidora, it was not enough for the “City of the Aqueduct”.
And no, I’m not predicting Santos to be the Clausura 2026 champion now that the Patriots and Seahawks are reunited in the Super Bowl. If we say that Mohamed’s presence on the winning bench in both cases was a coincidence between the previous tournament and the Vince Lombardi Trophy game, then the same logic should be applied in this case. Therefore, the distinction is who was the winning coach six months later, whose name should be the Portuguese Pedro. Will Caixinha, who arrived at FC Juárez this semester, be the first to see Querétaro become champions like they have never been?
