Located in the city of Monterrey and with a well-known rivalry with the other team in the city that takes the same name from the city and is known as “Striped”, the Tigers Football Club of the Autonomous University of Nuevo León, which is the full name of the feline team, it has one of the best fans on the planet capable of making massive displacements and filling its stadium, the University stadium.
The Mexican side, faces after being runner-up in the tournament in Mexico after losing just a few months ago the final against América, to his third participation in a group stage of the Copa Libertadores and at the moment, not only is he not disappointing but he is surprising. Framed in the group 6 along with teams as powerful in the tournament as River Plate, the feline box has been mathematically classified for eighths before finishing the group stage. The previous two times they finished in the quarterfinals in 2005 (in which is the best ranking so far) and in eighths in 2006.
In the current edition, Tigres has solved its parties with enough authority. In fact, lack of 2 matches to finish the league, has managed to qualify after winning 3 of his four games and draw one nothing more and nothing less than at the Monumental de River in Buenos Aires. A block, the one directed by Tuca Ferretti, where they are highlighting their forwards, players like ex Betis, the Brazilian Rafael Sobis and the Ecuadorian international Guerrón.
