We lacked humility' - Aguilar admits Cruz Azul players let Liga MX title change them

La Maquina were stunned by Mazatlan in their first Apertura match last weekend

Cruz Azul defender Pablo Aguilar has admitted the team allowed winning the Liga MX title last season change its mentality in their Apertura opener last weekend.

With the weight of a 23-year championship drought no longer on the shoulders of every player who joins La Maquina, they have become too arrogant in their success, Aguilar told reporters, leading to a shock 2-0 defeat to Mazatlan last weekend.

So, the center back has asked for Cruz Azul to "go back to being that humble team" that triumphed last term over Santos Laguna.
