Lionel Messi’s new teammate Rodrigo de Paul was caught with his girlfriend in a romantic moment<\/span><\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\nIt should be noted that the Mexican team hasn’t worked well in previous editions of Leagues Cup. This has led to criticism of teams who are required to be protagonists, such as Club America, Cruz Azur, Monterrey and Tigress. There were also questions about whether Mexican clubs take this competition seriously.<\/p>\n
New League Cup Format for 2025<\/h2>\n
The 2025 Leagues Cup qualifying stage will be played from July 29th to August 7th. Each team will face three rivals from the opposing league, with a total of eight teams being qualified from Riga MX and four from MLS.<\/p>\n
