In its most recent episode entitled “Keylor arrives at Pumas, Parra in the spotlight and América touched: crisis or renewal?”, the sports podcast Jugada Maestra brings together hosts Heriberto Murrieta, Héctor Huerta and Paco Arredondo to dissect the most relevant movements in Mexican soccer at the start of the Apertura 2025 season. You can listen to the podcast HERE.
In addition, they analyze the current situation of América, which on Sunday, July 20, lost the Champion of Champions title to Toluca, who a few weeks ago also snatched the Liga MX title from them.

The commentators discuss in detail the possible arrival of Keylor Navas to Pumas as an immediate solution to the mistakes of Rodrigo Parra, a young goalkeeper who has faced criticism for his lack of experience.
Citing sources, they explain that the negotiation with Newell’s Old Boys failed due to a financial difference – Pumas offered close to $1 million dollars, while the Argentine club asked for at least $3 million dollars.
Alfredo Talavera, former El Tri goalkeeper and current youth goalkeeping coach, offers a profound vision of the training crisis in Mexico: the lack of “volume” -presence and character- in goalkeeping and the challenges of generational replacement.
America: worst moment or turning point?
After a resounding defeat against Toluca in the Campeón de Campeones, Jugada Maestra analyzes the situation of the Águilas.
The urgency to reinforce the squad, the tactical impact of the defeat and the contrast with the wisdom of coach Antonio Mohamed, who knew how to capitalize against América in the final.
The podcast does not lose sight of the rest of the teams, so the experienced hosts review: Chivas’ irregular performance, Tigres’ performance, Leon’s passing and Kevin Mier’s mistakes at Cruz Azul.
An unfiltered analysis that reflects how the tournament is beginning to take shape.
Closing the episode, the hosts pay tribute to prominent figures in soccer and journalism who have passed away in the past week, recognizing their legacy in the sport and their impact on Latin soccer culture.
