To start, we have to start with two Atlas supporters in full wedding gowns striking in a sea of red and black at Estadio Jalisco.

That said, some of Atlas’ oldest fans have had to wait a lifetime for their beloved club to win a second Liga MX trophy. Emotional 91-year-old Edmundo Iñiguez still believes in the team after an incredible 70 years since Atlas’ last championship.
Edmundo Iñiguez was 91 years old and told his family he would not die until Atlas FC win the Mexican league again.
This was his reaction when they won. He’s been waiting for 70 years 🥺❤️

Maybe for the many people outside the stadium who took to the streets, this was the first time they saw it Los Rojinegros defy the odds and win the title of Mexico’s top flight. Late the next morning, countless supporters flooded the streets of Guadalajara, not wanting the night to end.

Not surprisingly, we also saw some trolling from Chivas, Atlas’ crosstown nemesis. Shortly after the final whistle on Sunday, Chivas posted an image congratulating their Guadalajara rivals in an blatantly disdainful way.
With Atlas’ two championship trophies at the far left of the image, 10 additional blanks are placed in front of them, highlighting the number of championships Atlas needs to win to keep up with his total of 12 championships. Chivas in the Mexican First Division.

Either way, that hasn’t stopped Atlas’ party.
On Monday, the entire roster, leadership and team ownership were let loose in Guadalajara to their fans who had been waiting for this moment to come very, very, very, very long.
