He now aims to join a European club in January to keep alive his bid for a Spain call-up at the 2026 World Cup.

Overview

  • Monterrey lost 3-2 away to Toluca in the second leg, finishing 3-3 on aggregate, with Toluca advancing on superior regular-season position after finishing first to Rayados’ sixth.
  • Sergio Ramos converted a penalty in the match and, according to Liga MX, became the oldest scorer in the Liguilla at 39 years and 251 days.
