The term "Liguilla" refers to a playoff system used in the Mexican professional football league, known as Liga MX. It typically occurs at the end of the regular season, where the top eight teams compete for the championship title. The format includes knockout rounds, where teams play two-legged matches, with the aggregate score determining who advances. The Liguilla is highly anticipated by fans and players alike, as it offers a chance for teams to compete for the ultimate prize despite their performance during the regular season. Winning the Liguilla is considered a significant achievement in Mexican football, often overshadowing the regular season standings.
