Club América's El Más Grande Status In Doubt After FIFA Club World Cup Play-In Defeat

There are losses — and then there are defining failures. Club América’s 2-1 defeat to LAFC in the FIFA Club World Cup Play-In match will go down as the darkest chapter in the club’s modern history. A golden ticket to the world stage was squandered, and with it, América’s claims of international greatness took a crushing blow. The loss doesn’t just sting — it reshapes legacies. For Las Águilas, the only way forward now is a complete reset, or risk losing the identity that made them “El Más Grande.”
