Ángel Correa Surpasses Ramos, James, and Ramsey in Liga MX
Ángel Correa, a prominent figure in football, has made a significant impact since joining Tigres in Liga MX. In his debut season, the talented forward has led the team to the finals, vying for the coveted ninth championship title. His successful start in Mexico contrasts sharply with other high-profile players who have come to the league recently.
Correa’s Impressive Start in Liga MX
Correa joined Tigres in July 2025, leaving his position at Atlético de Madrid after a fruitful European career. Many were surprised by his decision to transition to Liga MX at just 30 years old. However, he expressed a strong desire for this new adventure.
In his first season, Correa played 17 matches, starting in 16. He scored 8 goals, becoming the team’s top scorer alongside Juan Brunetta, and provided 4 assists. His remarkable performance continued in the Leagues Cup, where he netted 5 goals in just 4 matches, making him the tournament’s highest scorer.
Contributing to Tigres’ Success
Correa’s presence has revitalized the Tigres offensive strategy, elevating them to the second-best scoring team in Liga MX. He also recorded the most shots on goal for his team, totaling 56, and was successful in individual duels, winning 8 of them.
Contrasting Stories of Other Stars
While Correa shines, some prominent players have struggled to make their mark in Liga MX. James Rodríguez, for instance, finished his time with his club without winning any trophies despite achieving 5 goals and 8 assists over 41 matches. Similarly, Sergio Ramos left without lifting a title and recorded only 7 goals during his tenure.
- Ángel Correa: 8 goals, 4 assists in Liga MX; 5 goals in Leagues Cup

- Sergio Ramos: 7 goals but no titles
- Allan Saint-Maximin: 3 goals, 2 assists in 12 matches

Correa’s Potential for Greatness
As Correa prepares for the finals, he has a unique chance to cement his legacy in Mexican football. His journey thus far illustrates the true potential of a significant signing in Liga MX, contrasting with the missed opportunities of other star players. The upcoming final against Toluca on December 11, 2025, at 9 PM ET is highly anticipated, where Correa aims to deliver a championship for Tigres.
