America full-back Miguel Layun: "We have a huge opportunity. We ask them [the fans] and more than anything, I want to thank the support you have given us in every game in the Azteca. They are the engine that gives extra energy when the team's legs no longer respond. Hearing the cries of support is what gives you that energy. We will provide for them on the pitch and are confident that together we can achieve the 12th [title]."
