Cruz Azul lived a nightmare again. In their debut in the 2025 Leagues Cup, the Cementeros team was crushed by the Seattle Sounders with a humiliating 0-7 that will go down in the books as the worst international defeat in the club's history. The scoreline not only left the team practically eliminated from the tournament, but also put the project of Nicolas Larcamon, who has only been in charge of the team for weeks, in check.

Until now, the club's worst international defeat dates back to 2003, when Fenix of Uruguay beat them 6-1 in the Copa Libertadores. However, what happened in the United States surpassed that episode, both for the result and the current context of the club.

However, a similar 7-0 defeat against Club América is among the worst historical match for La Mquina.

The defeat in the Leagues Cup also represents the biggest fall for a Mexican team against an MLS team, setting off alarms at La Noria and leaving the fans deeply disappointed.

Historic defeats: the defeats that left their mark

The list of defeats suffered by Cruz Azul is not very extensive, but it is overwhelming. Throughout their history, they have experienced defeats that have left their mark due to the magnitude of the score and the consequences they brought:

In the semifinals of the Guardianes 2020, they were also beaten by Pumas 4-0, and in 2003, Chivas eliminated them with a 4-1 playoff.

After the beating suffered against Seattle, coach Nicolás Larcamón did not evade responsibility. "One is aware of the impact that these types of results can have," he said at a press conference. He also asserted that he has the fortitude and experience to turn things around: "We have the courage, the balls to turn this situation around."

Larcamón apologized to the Sky Blue fans, who exploded on social media demanding his immediate departure. "We are not in a position to ask you for anything, only to apologize, to take responsibility,"stand up and grit your teeth," he said.
