Overview
- Roughly 20–30 supporters gathered outside El Barrial with banners reading “Dejen de vender humo, ¿a qué juega Monterrey?” and “Monterrey no es marketing.”
- Protesters tossed fake banknotes bearing sporting president José Antonio “Tato” Noriega’s image with the message “Fuera mercenario, ¿y las formas Tato?”.
- Sergio Canales held a conversation with fan leaders during the demonstration, and one outlet reported that Carlos Salcedo also stopped to listen.
- José Antonio Noriega later left the facility under escort, and his media availability was curtailed, according to local reporting.
- Monterrey has 10 points after seven rounds in ninth place, and local press suggests Saturday’s home match against Cruz Azul could influence decisions on coach Domènec Torrent and the sporting leadership.
