Los Tuzos will compete for the first time in their history in the Intercontinental Cup Final.
Pachuca is an anomaly among the great Mexican soccer teams, since they have achieved what few have achieved, and sometimes, what no one else in this country has been able to do. They have already become the only club in the world to win a title from a Confederation that is not their own.
After securing the Concachampions, they qualified for the 2024 FIFA Intercontinental Cup and surprised the world by reaching the Final of the international tournament after a disappointing Apertura 2024 season. Now, they will face none other than Carlo Ancelotti’s Real Madrid.
Regardless of whether they can defeat the Merengues, what Pachuca has achieved is historic, only comparable to what Tigres UANL achieved when they reached the Club World Cup Final. With great merit, Guillermo Almada has led a club that deserves the respect of the world and continues to surprise year after year, with limited or ample resources.

Pachuca, First Mexican Team in the Intercontinental Final to Face Real Madrid
Guillermo Almada trusts his team
-From memes to serious analysts in the media, everyone talks about Almada’s great work with Pachuca, a team that today started with seven Mexicans on the field and only one over thirty years old (Luis “El Chaka” Rodríguez).
“It is very important for us. It is hard (to face Real Madrid), very complicated, especially because of the football marathon we had today, but we will try to recover the players and face that match with all the motivation in the world,” said Almada. .
The Uruguayan coach has brought joy to Pachuca since taking charge, and although his path with the Tuzos has not always been easy, it has produced historic results.
Today, Pachuca sits at the table of the greats and aspires to achieve what no Mexican team has achieved. Tigres reached the Final, but was nowhere near tying or beating Bayern Munich. Los Tuzos still have to play their match against a weakened Madrid, who remain the reigning champions of Europe. However, their coach believes they can defeat them.
For Guillermo Almada, this will be an unforgettable match, an unbeatable scenario for a coach who has hinted at his intentions to leave the technical position after the 2025 Club World Cup. Before that happens, Almada seeks to finish at the highest level, with the hope to defeat the giant of world football.
