The presence of Mexican boxer Saúl ‘Canelo’ Álvarez in the first leg of the Clausura final 2022 of Liga MX continues to create a stir , especially because of the shirt he was wearing last Wednesday.

The man from Guadalajara, despite the fact that in the past expressed his preference for the Chivas de Guadalajara, he appeared in the VIP box of the Jalisco Stadium wearing the shirt of the ‘Sacred Flock”s greatest rival: the Atlas .

His coach Eddy Reynoso’s fondness for the Atlas is well known, but it was never thought that his pupil, who in the past wore the CD Guadalajara shirt, will accompany his teacher regarding his preference in the MX League.

This did not pass long and the forums and media Guadalajara was talked about at length; The ‘Chivahermanos’ expressed their regret over Canelo’s decision… Like Chivas himself.

NOT EVEN JUDAS WAS THAT TREASONABLE!

“If Eddy invites me (to the Final of Ida), Why not? The truth is that I would love to be there supporting Atlas.”

“Now I am from Atlas 100 %, I go to both of them, but I’m from Atlas, really” , the unified super middleweight champion told the media after the important Liga MX match, causing disappointment within the Flock.

In addition, Álvarez did not clarify that “I go to both of them”, when both clubs have a fierce rivalry that for the moment the Foxes have dominated after winning the last duels against the Chivas.

Through their official TikTok account @chivas they posted a video with Canelo wearing a club jacket and receiving a home jersey as a gift ; the audiovisual short accumulates almost 400 a thousand likes and is on its way to 5,000 comments.
