Russian Brailovsky downplays the importance of the Clásico Nacional and prefers another América title to beating Chivas.

Ahead of the upcoming Clásico Nacional between Club América and Chivas, anticipation builds for one of the most prominent fixtures in Mexican football. The pre-match buildup has been marked by significant commentary from historical club figure Daniel “Ruso” Brailovsky, who downplayed the immediate importance of defeating Chivas in favor of securing another championship title for América.

Simultaneously, squad preparations for the high-profile encounter face setbacks. Club América will head into the match without defender Kevin Álvarez, who has been officially ruled out from playing in the fixture, adding further pressure to the team's lineup configuration on the eve of the game.
