Toluca head into Leagues Cup final against Monterrey determined to win the title

Toluca arrive at the Leagues Cup final with a clear message from coach Antonio Mohamed: reaching the last match was only one objective, and the remaining one is to lift the trophy.

“

We reached the last match, which was one of the objectives we had set, and now the objective is to win.

The Argentine coach said the team has learned to operate on major stages since winning the Clausura 2025 tournament. Toluca now want the Leagues Cup title, a trophy they do not yet have. “We reached the last match, which was one of the objectives we had set, and now the objective is to win,” Mohamed said. “Tomorrow is the day to show that we want to win.”

Mohamed expects a demanding final against Monterrey. He praised their high-level players and their coach, who has reached a final soon after arriving, but said Toluca must concentrate on its own performance. “It will be a high-risk match,” he said. “To win, we have to make our maximum effort, play a very good match and be up to the task to try to take the cup.”

Toluca goalkeeper Hugo González also described Monterrey as a strong, well-coached team. Still, he said his side is ready for the challenge and focused entirely on winning. “It is important for us to win it, and it is a good opportunity to go down in the history of the tournament,” González said. A Toluca victory would make the club the first champion under the competition’s new format.
