The team, known as Cruzados, is less than a week away from its Copa Libertadores match against Estudiantes de La Plata. Claro conveyed confidence in his team's ability to advance, saying, "We have faith that we can overcome Estudiantes de La Plata, and if not, compete until the end."

In contrast to their continental ambitions, the team's performance in the national league is more challenging. Universidad Católica sits third with 27 points, 15 points behind leader Colo Colo. "In the National Championship, as long as it is mathematically possible, we will keep fighting," Claro stated. He acknowledged the team's disappointing start to the second half of the season but expressed hope that the leader might falter. The objective of qualifying for other international cups also remains.
