Monterrey sit atop the Apertura 2025 table, and Aguirre says staying in first place is a priority for the squad. Rayados travel to Puebla for Jornada 7 on Friday, with Aguirre cautioning against treating the match as easy. The defender reports he feels very well mentally and physically, crediting Monterrey’s medical and technical staff for his preparation. Although not included in the latest national-team microcycle, he remains motivated to compete for a 2026 World Cup roster spot and views club performances as decisive. Aguirre has logged nine matches this summer across the Club World Cup, Leagues Cup and Apertura; his last Mexico call-up was in March 2024 for the Nations League Final Four.
