Although both clubs are not having a good time in the Clausura 2022, their rivalry is so full of history and unforgettable moments that it is necessary to review which of these teams has the advantage.

Who has won Mexico's Clásico Nacional the most times?

The answer may not please Chivas fans, as Club América has been the team that has won the Clásico Nacional de México the most times. 

Of all the 242 times the two clubs have met, the Aguilas have won on 88 occasions, while the Rebaño Sagrado has triumphed on 77 occasions.

In fact, history was cemented in the short tournaments, which began to be implemented in Mexico in the 1996-1997 season, and despite the change in format, Club América has remained at the top of this count. 

When did the rivalry between the two clubs begin?

The first time that both clubs faced each other and started this rivalry was on February 20, 1944, in a duel played at the Asturias Park when professionalism was finally beginning in Mexico.

The rivalry between these teams gained strength because while Club América was the team of the country's capital and represented those who lived in Mexico City, Chivas represented the people of the interior of the country. 

The main irreconcilable difference between Chivas and Club América

There are many characteristics that make the two teams different, but the main one is undoubtedly the origin of the players in each squad. 

While the Aguilas have no problem hiring foreign players to join their ranks, Chivas only plays with Mexican players. 

And this philosophy is one of the few that has never changed in the history of Mexican soccer, as so far the club has never hired and fielded anyone not born in Mexico.

Which club has won more titles, Chivas or Club América?

In this section, the winner is also Club América, as it has 13 Liga MX titles, while Chivas has 12.

This tern of the winningest teams in Liga MX is also integrated by Toluca and Cruz Azul, who each have 10 and 9 respectively. 

But even with this difference in terms of titles or games won, people have not stopped living this game intensely.

There have been cases in which the fans of both clubs bet, from their scalps to having their pictures taken with the club that wins the Mexican National Classic.
