Cruz Azul streak on the line in heavyweight Champions Cup matchup
In the CONCACAF Champions Cup today, Cruz Azul’s growing undefeated sequence will be put to the test against Rayados.
Cruz Azul is experiencing one of its best stretches in recent years. La Máquina has gone two full months without defeat in official competition, a run that has rekindled excitement among its fans - and one that’s about to face a major test.
Today, Nicolás Larcamón’s side travel to Estadio BBVA to take on fellow Mexicans Monterrey in the first leg of the CONCACAF Champions Cup last 16, a matchup that will challenge Cruz Azul’s undefeated streak on Rayados’ home turf.
When was Cruz Azul’s last loss?
The last time Cruz Azul tasted defeat was on January 10, 2026, when it fell 2-1 to León on opening weekend of the Liga MX Clausura. Since then, Los Celestes have pieced together an impressive stretch of results.
In the wake of that loss, Cruz Azul has tallied 10 wins and a draw across Liga MX and the Champions Cup, establishing itself as one of the most consistent teams in Mexican soccer so far this year.
It’s been 59 days since that setback at the Nou Camp, a period in which Cruz Azul has shown tactical solidity, sharper form, and a clear identity under Larcamón’s leadership.
Which teams has Cruz Azul beaten?
The run of strong performances began with a win over Atlas and continued with victories against Puebla, FC Juárez, Tigres, Chivas, Santos Laguna, and Atlético San Luis - a series that confirmed the team’s growing momentum.
Cruz Azul has also enjoyed dominant home-and-away wins over Vancouver in the Champions Cup, a draw with Toluca, and a recent victory against Monterrey at the Gigante de Acero, bringing the undefeated streak to 11 straight matches.
