Mon Apr 21 00:10:00 UTC 2025: ## Liga MX Showdown: Ramos and Rodríguez Reunite in Crucial Clash

**Monterrey, Mexico** – The final day of the Clausura 2025 regular season will feature a highly anticipated clash between Monterrey and León, highlighted by the reunion of former Real Madrid teammates Sergio Ramos and James Rodríguez. The match holds significant implications for both teams’ playoff hopes.

Águilas’ recent five-game winless streak adds to the overall drama surrounding the league’s final matches.

Monterrey, currently in eighth place with 25 points, needs a victory to secure at least an eighth-place finish and a Play-In berth. However, a win, coupled with losses by Pachuca and Necaxa, could propel them into a direct Liguilla qualification spot. A loss or draw, combined with a Juárez win, could drop them to ninth.

León, sitting fifth with 30 points, aims for a direct Liguilla berth. A win guarantees this, but a draw could leave them in the Play-In depending on Pachuca and Necaxa’s results. A loss, combined with wins from either Pachuca or Necaxa, could push them down to sixth place and still secure a direct Liguilla berth.

The match marks a significant reunion for Ramos and Rodríguez, who won two La Liga titles, two Club World Cups, and two Champions League titles together at Real Madrid between 2014 and 2020 (with Rodríguez’s two-year loan spell at Bayern Munich). Their on-field battle in Mexico promises to be a captivating spectacle for fans. The stakes are high, and the outcome will significantly impact the Liga MX playoff picture.
