In an interview with Mexican press on Monday, Cruz Azul midfielder Luis Romo reflected on the path that took the cementeros to the title after 24 years:

"The key to everything that happened that allowed us to lift the trophy once again was last tournament's 4-0 defeat against Pumas; that result and all the negative talk following it forced us to close ranks and that translated to the pitch in this tournament with our good play" He furthermore added that "During the 24-year wait, there are a lot of young fans that had never seen Cruz Azul win a title, all this is for them, there are players on the team that have been here much longer than me and they didn't know if this was going to be their last year."

Finally, he spoke about what it means to be a Cruz Azul player: "To don this shirt is something magical, and to celebrate with fans is incredible. I am very happy with my first year at Cruz Azul, I went through a lot of things and came out ahead".
