In an interview with Mexican outlet Marca Claro, Santos Laguna midfielder Fernando Gorriaran spoke about the upcoming Apertura 2021 final against Cruz Azul:

"It will be a special match, for me and for the whole squad: I believe we had a great tournament, we got past many adversities like many injuries and Covid-19. We have to enjoy the moment, we'll play a great team and we'll do it at home first; it will be a pleasure to play in front of our fans and I'm sure I'll enjoy it. We are not worried about their run of form, that's something that regards them, not us. I just know that they will be a very intense 90 minutes and we'll do everything in our power to hurt Cruz Azul's chances"

He added that he doesn't believe there are clear favorites in a final, as both teams have a 50/50 chance to win, but the media always likes to play favorites. On Cruz Azul he declared that "It is a great squad in all phases, they have great players but we are hungry for glory, as we have shown in the last few games and I believe in our qualities to hurt Cruz Azul and win the title"
