What They're Saying
Tigres UANL midfielder Damian Alvarez on his team's current form (via Esto): "I see a very strong, motivated Tigres, one that is riding a good run of form. But we have to remember that games are decided on the pitch. If we're playing a little better than Monterrey at the moment, we need to demonstrate it."
Monterrey manager Antonio Mohamed on his dismissal of today's Clasico (via Univision): "What's important to me are the three points. What's important to me is being the champions. We want to qualify [for the playoffs] and it doesn't matter what team is in front of us."
