Honestly, América vs Cruz Azul games are on a whole different level because both teams have such a long history of actually intense matchups. I've always felt like even if one of them isn't doing great in the season, as soon as they play each other, it's like everything is at stake, and the fans make it wild with the energy. Everyone calls this game 'Clásico Joven,' and even my dad still talks about the crazy finals from back when he was a teen. I think what really makes it intense is not just the trophies or stats but also that América and Cruz Azul fans always go all out, like making banners, fireworks, and massive chants, especially at Estadio Azteca. Plus, so many of their matches end with dramatic goals or penalties. Just last year, there were a bunch of draws, so it always feels like anything can happen, and nobody wants to lose bragging rights. I always watch with my cousin, who's a die-hard Cruz Azul fan, and every time, we end up yelling at the TV because it's never just a boring match. It just means more, even if it's not technically a final.
