Through its effectiveness, game management and composure to hold onto the result, Chivas defeated Atlético San Luis 3-0 this afternoon at Estadio Libertad Financiera in Jornada 7 of the Apertura 2026. The team coached by Gabriel Milito has found consistency at the start of the second third of the tournament, reaching 14 points and temporarily moving into second place.
Guadalajara came out firing, as it already had a significant 0-2 lead before the 10-minute mark, thanks to the mobility of its players and the efficiency of its attackers in front of goal. Of course, this allowed the Rojiblancos to take control of the match.
With the support of the Chivahermanos in San Luis Potosí, who never stopped cheering, the Guadalajara side was able to manage Atlético's attempts to respond. At the same time, there was never a real sense of danger in Chiverío's defensive area, which in turn allowed Guadalajara to find the definitive goal.
Next week, Chivas will return home to host Pumas in J8 of AP26. The match will take place on Sunday, September 13, at 7:07 PM.

Guadalajara was unable to take all three points against Pachuca, but for Gabriel Milito, the result also highlighted some areas that Chivas will need to work on moving forward.
Speaking at the press conference following tonight's match, the rojiblanco head coach was self-critical of his team's performance, acknowledged that the first half was better than the second and pointed out that the team needed greater control of the ball in order to manage the game. The Argentine coach also stressed that the team needs to find greater consistency and make better use of the favorable moments that arise during matches.
Gabriel Milito's best quotes
I feel that the first half was better than the second. We had chances to make it 2-0. We struggled to have much more control of the ball. I feel that we need to be more consistent, and I think we can do better. We have to do better."More than the points, which of course are important, the feeling from today's draw and the feeling from the draw against Puebla are different. Puebla, we deserved to win, and today, when everything was in our favor, we needed to have that calmness to do things better, as we eventually do."
The opponent, with their changes, brought a lot of energy. We also have to give credit to the opposing team, who at times neutralized our circulation. The ******* es were there, and we should have had better ball circulation to avoid so many turnovers and create attacks."

The summer transfer market has been shaken by Álvaro Morata's surprising move to CD Leganés, while the latest sports headlines are dominated by Julián Álvarez's absence from Atlético de Madrid's trip to Seville and FC Barcelona's tactical adjustments in attack.
The Madrid-born striker is behind the summer's biggest move after joining CD Leganés on loan from Como. The deal shakes up the second tier and makes the Spain international Leganés' main ***** et in their bid to return to the top flight.
For his part, Diego Simeone heads into the visit to the Ramón Sánchez-Pizjuán without a recognized centre-forward after Julián Álvarez was confirmed unavailable. The Argentine's absence, prompted by his refusal to train during the final stretch of the transfer window, puts even more focus on the tactical setup the rojiblancos will use in Seville.
Meanwhile, in Barcelona, Hansi Flick is drawing up attacking alternatives. Faced with the complicated scenario of signing Julián Álvarez, the coaching staff are considering redeploying Raphinha as an out-and-out No. 9, trusting in his movement and finishing to lead the blaugrana attack.
On the international stage, the European draws have handed demanding matchups to Celta de Vigo and Real Sociedad in the Europa League, while Getafe will face more manageable fixtures in the Conference League.

The Julian Alvarez saga looks set to continue until September 1, the final day of the transfer window.
The Atletico Madrid and Argentina striker remains determined that he only wants to play for Barça, while the Rojiblancos are now considering selling him for €150 million, although not to Barcelona.
The Argentine forward remains firmly committed to Barcelona, his only preferred destination.
As reported by Catalunya Radio (h/t SPORT), the 26-year-old has reiterated to Barça officials in recent hours that he is prepared to withstand the pressure and wait in the hope of eventually breaking through Atlético Madrid's resistance.
At the same time, he has made a more public gesture on social media that appears to reinforce that commitment. He "liked" a TikTok video linking him with Barcelona.

Atlético Madrid star Julián Alvarez has early this week dropped a fresh hint regarding his eagerness to take his talents to La Liga rivals Barcelona before the summer is out.
This of course comes fresh off a harrowing evening for the Argentine on Sunday.
Afforded a place on the bench for Atlético's league meeting with Villarreal, Alvarez found himself the target of a heavy and incessant round of boos, whistles and jeers on the part of the Metropolitano crowd.
After the attacker announced his desire to move on earlier this summer, the Rojiblancos faithful made crystal clear that they have not forgiven Alvarez in any way, shape or form.
Safe to say, then, that the 26-year-old's latest activity on social media is unlikely to go down overly well, either…

On a scorching afternoon in Madrid, Atlético de Madrid finally got their first weekend home kickoff of the season, with over 60,000 fans packed into the Metropolitano to welcome the Rojiblancos and properly usher in the new campaign against fellow Champions League side Villarreal.
Two penalties, a red card, and a very complicated homecoming later, Atleti walked away with a point they were truthfully fortunate to get.
Let's dive into the takeaways!
Between the heat and a lineup still finding its feet, this always had the makings of a sluggish start. Several of these players are only just back from a shortened summer, still getting reacquainted, and it showed.
For the opening hour, Atleti dominated the shooting charts on paper, outshooting Villarreal 11 to 6. But only two efforts were on target, and the underlying picture told a very different story. Villarreal had 23 touches in Atleti's box to Atleti's 19 in theirs. The visitors also created three big chances in the first half alone, while Atleti created zero. They even out-passed Atleti, 271 to 217. The Rojiblancos were a team going through the motions of control without really controlling anything.

That's why we've put together an ideal XI of stats to review right here:
What Chivas' Rout of Xolos Left Behind

The Rebaño once again showcased the qualities that have defined Gabriel Milito's project, crushing Xolos 5-2 at Estadio AKRON with a top-to-bottom performance in every aspect of the game. Chivas moved to 10 points in the standings, placing themselves near the top of the table.
Alongside the clinical finishing with which the Rojiblancos put the game away, Guadalajara dominated proceedings from start to finish. A combination of collective effort, high-level combinations, aggression and attacking initiative shaped the emphatic victory.
Camberos and Sandoval constantly active on the wings, Marín mobile and clinical, Alvarado finding ******* es to receive and create chances, and a virtually impenetrable back line were the highlights of a Chivas side that showed it is getting closer to its best version. Even with Xolos scoring twice late on—more through sheer determination than sustained play—the Rebaño's victory left Chiva Nation, which packed the AKRON, with plenty to celebrate.
Guadalajara's next challenge will be Pachuca, away at Estadio Hidalgo on Saturday, August 29, at 5 PM.

Armando 'Hormiga' González's story with Chivas began long before his goals at Estadio AKRON. In 2018, at just 15 years old, he joined Guadalajara's youth academy with the U-15 side, inspired in part by his family history: his father, Armando González Bejarano, had also worn the Rojiblanco jersey and passed down his love for these colors from an early age.
That was the beginning of a journey that would see the young 'Hormiga', who grew up surrounded by stories of the Rebaño, create a few of his own within the club.
His path through the Rojiblanco Academy took him through several age groups and was highlighted by multiple achievements. He won championships with Chivas at U-15 and U-17 level before enjoying one of his best tournaments in the Apertura 2023 with the U-23 side.
That season, he won the Golden Boot with 13 goals during the regular season and played a key role in helping the Rebañolift the U-23 ******* le, scoring five more goals in the playoffs, including the opening goal in the final against Tigres. Earlier, on November 18, 2020, he had taken his first steps in professional soccer with Tapatío in Liga de Expansión MX.
On January 13, 2024, the moment arrived for Armando to officially wear the First Team jersey and make his Liga MX debut. That afternoon, he came on as a substitute in the 84th minute against Santos Laguna in Matchday 1 of the Clausura 2024. From that point on, he began turning everything he had learned throughout the years into goals, prominence and moments that would remain in the memory of the Rojiblanco faithful.

Santiago Sandoval could not have asked for a better return to Chivas' first-team setup. After an impressive run with the Mexico U-20 National Team at the CONCACAF U-20 Championship, the Rojiblanco academy product returned to the squad with the same confidence, talent and ability to make a difference that have made him one of Guadalajara's most promising young players.
Most importantly, his return has gone beyond simply making a good impression. In his last 2 appearances, Sandoval has directly contributed to Chivas' victories, proving that he is a player capable of changing the course of a match even when coming off the bench.
His return came in the final match of the Leagues Cup against Seattle Sounders. He came on as a substitute and, with only a few minutes on the pitch, found himself inside the box to connect with a header and score the goal that ultimately proved decisive in Chivas' victory.
But if that performance was the first glimpse of his impact after returning from the U-20 Championship, what happened against Santos Laguna confirmed that it was no coincidence. In Matchweek 4 of the Apertura 2026, Sandoval came on in the 53rd minute and once again needed very little time to become a key figure. He was active throughout his time on the pitch and created dangerous situations, eventually winning the penalty that led to the goal with which Guadalajara defeated Los Guerreros 0-1.
2 matches, 2 wins and 2 different ways of making an impact. Against Seattle, with a goal. Against Santos, through his movement, his reading of the game and an individual play that ultimately led to the decisive penalty.

His return came in the closing stages of the Leagues Cup match against the Seattle Sounders. He came on as a substitute and, with only a few minutes on the field, appeared in the box to head home a goal that ultimately proved crucial in giving Chivas the win.
But if that performance was an early sign of his impact after returning from the U-20 Championship, what happened against Santos Laguna confirmed it was no fluke. On Matchday 4 of the Apertura 2026, Sandoval came on in the 53rd minute and once again needed little time to become a central figure. He was active and created dangerous situations until he won the penalty that later became the goal with which Guadalajara defeated the Guerreros 0-1.
2 matches, 2 wins, and 2 different ways of being decisive. Against Seattle, with a goal. Against Santos, through his movement, his reading of the game, and a play that ended in the decisive penalty.

Atlético Madrid head coach Diego Simeone on Tuesday made use of the opportunity to send another unwavering transfer message the way of Barcelona. This of course comes amid the latter's ongoing pursuit of Rojiblancos star Julián Alvarez.
It is of course Spanish football's worst-kept secret that the Camp Nou brass have set their sights on the signature of frontman Alvarez with a view to next season. Amid an ongoing search for a long-term replacement for Robert Lewandowski, the 26-year-old has been identified as the ideal fit for Hansi Flick's setup.
Efforts to make the transfer a reality have, in turn, been ongoing for several months now.
Barca's push, however, has been met time and time again with complete resistance on the part of those in the boardroom at La Liga rivals Atlético Madrid.
And if the latest comments on the part of the aforementioned Diego Simeone are anything to go by, then this stance looks unlikely to change over the weeks ahead.

Guadalajara made the most of the superiority it showed on the field at TSM and claimed a 1-0 win over Santos on Matchday 4 of the 2026 Apertura. With this victory, the Rojiblancos picked up 3 important points that allow them to keep climbing the standings.
True to their style, the Rebaño Sagrado took the field intending to impose their conditions from the opening whistle. Gabriel Milito's side pushed their lines forward to create danger in the final third. Despite going into halftime scoreless, Guadalajara maintained its intensity and never stopped looking for the opener.
That persistence paid off in the second half. Santiago Sandoval made a great play inside the box, where he feinted and shook off his marker to draw a foul that led to a penalty. Ricardo Marín took responsibility from the spot and converted to score the goal that gave Guadalajara the win in the Comarca Lagunera.
Guadalajara's next match will be at home. On Saturday, August 22, they will host Tijuana at AKRON Stadium, where they will look to earn another win in front of the entire Nación Rojiblanca.

One La Liga insider is claiming that Julian Alvarez has a secret clause in his Atletico Madrid contract that can allow FC Barcelona to sign him for €130 million.
Alvarez has tried to amicably part ways with Atletico Madrid and fulfil his dream of joining Barcelona. However, the Rojiblancos have been adamant that they wouldn't let him join a rival team.
Atleti have done everything in their power not to let Alvarez leave or even demand a transfer, but one reported clause in the Argentine's contract could open the door for Barca to land him.

The board at Atlético Madrid look set to continue frustrating their counterparts at La Liga rivals Barcelona with their actions on the transfer front over the coming days.
This comes amid the understanding that the Rojiblancos are readying a decisive push to bring in Jorge Salinas.
Youngster Salinas has for his part been heavily linked with a move away from Racing Santander this summer. After playing a starring role in the club's promotion back to the top-flight of Spanish football at just 18, the versatile defender has piqued the interest of a whole host of clubs.
Chief among them are the aforementioned Barcelona, who have been tipped to bring Salinas in throughout the window to date.
As alluded to above, though, with the Blaugrana yet to meet the demands set out by their Racing counterparts, Atlético Madrid are ready to throw their hat in the ring.

Atlético Madrid head coach Diego Simeone has this weekend fired a fresh warning the way of La Liga rivals Barcelona. This comes amid the latter's ongoing pursuit of Rojiblancos star Julián Álvarez.
Barcelona's search for reinforcements up top has of course dominated the media headlines across Spain throughout the summer transfer window to date.
Whilst seeking out a long-term replacement for Robert Lewandowski, the Blaugrana have set their sights firmly on the aforementioned Álvarez, considered the ideal fit in Hansi Flick's system.
The problem for the Camp Nou brass, however, is that Atlético have made clear time and time again this summer that their star goalscorer is simply not for sale.
Speaking during an exchange with the media this weekend, Diego Simeone was therefore asked if there has been any change in his side's stance regarding Álvarez's immediate future.

Serie A side Inter have been in the race for Tottenham's Cristian Romero but the deal has been held up by the lack of exits. Now, it is ****** nal who have attempted a shock move, as the player heads towards the Lilywhites' exit door.
Alfredo Pedulla has reported about the Argentine, saying that Tottenham and Atletico Madrid are now in direct contact over a transfer.
The Spanish side are moving forward with the deal, taking advantage of the fact that Inter are yet to close the move despite an agreement in principle. They are yet to move on Benjamin Pavard, who has been offered to a lot of clubs but there has been no club for him so far.
Even ****** nal have been pushing hard for Romero in recent days. But the deal remains borderline impossible because of the frosty relationship between the London rivals, which is only helping Atletico Madrid.
Los Rojiblancos should find no problems in agreeing personal terms with Romero and would also be willing to offer Spurs more than Inter were.

Barcelona have entered a decisive stage in their pursuit of Julian Alvarez.
After weeks of discussions with intermediaries, a €100 million offer from Barcelona, and Atletico Madrid's repeated refusal to enter negotiations, the Argentine striker has decided to take the next step in an effort to force through a move to Camp Nou.
Indeed, according to SPORT, Alvarez and his representatives informed Deco during their latest meeting in Madrid that he is prepared to increase the pressure on Atletico.
This is not an impulsive decision, but the next step in a strategy that both player and club have gradually agreed upon over recent weeks as Los Rojiblancos have remained firm in shutting down any possibility of talks.
Despite his determination to leave, Alvarez is keen to maintain a flawless professional attitude.

The transfer market is heating up with strategic moves that are reshaping the world’s biggest football clubs, bringing major surprises and a domino effect that has only just begun.
Eduardo Camavinga wants to continue wearing white at Real Madrid. However, the club’s board sees him as the main option to cash in and finance major new signings ahead of next season.
Robert Lewandowski is making the definitive move to the United States. The Polish striker has completed his transfer to MLS side Chicago Fire, leaving Europe’s elite to become the new marquee star of American soccer.
Clément Lenglet is leaving Atlético Madrid. The French centre-back will head to Portugal in the coming hours to put pen to paper with Benfica, in search of the playing time he did not have with the Rojiblancos.
Sergi Altimira is already in Portugal to complete his transfer to Sporting for €18 million plus add-ons. This major departure from Betis is designed to free up the wage bill needed to make the long-awaited return of Dani Ceballos happen.

Immediately after the presidential elections, Florentino Perez and his board made a €150 million bid to Atletico Madrid for Julian Alvarez.
Some interpreted the move to be Perez’s idea to wriggle away from his promise of a Galactico signing, while others saw it as a deliberate and engineered move to prevent Alvarez’s transfer to Barcelona.
Ultimately, talks over the player’s departure stalled after that development as Los Rojiblancos also made it clear that they do not consider his sale a possibility.
Now, however, matters have resumed in some style as Alvarez himself came out to speak and admit his wish to leave his club after Argentina’s game last night.
“The best thing for me is a transfer, and I want to fulfil my dream,” he told the media after the game, as reported by Fabrizio Romano.
