The local sound of the old Estadio Azul reproduced the most epic narratives of Paco Villa with Cruz Azul, including that of the historic Final against Santos in the Clausura 2021 that meant the ninth title after a bad streak of almost 24 years without winning the Liga MX.
Paco Villa was a faithful and passionate fan of Cruz Azul and the fans responded to him for the love they had for the team with a minute of applause and chanting his name. “Olé, olé, olé, olé, Paco, Paco!” He resounded in the Ciudad de los Deportes Stadium.
Furthermore, in the run-up to the match against Pumas, the Cruz Azul shirt with the name Paco Villa and the number 9 was present on the TUDN broadcast and Marc Crosas was in charge of showing it off to the cameras.
Cruz Azul came from behind on two occasions to tie Pumas 2-2 and advance to the Clausura 2024 Semifinals thanks to the fact that they won 2-0 in the first leg. The Machine will face the winner of Rayados vs. Tigers.
