C, and Club Deportivo Marte. Cruz Azul is a professional soccer team that plays in the Mexican Primera Division. The team moved there in after they had played many seasons in El Estadio Azteca.

It was the club's ninth in all, but the first in 24 years, a period in which Los Azules have come to be known for its misfortune.

And so this win, which was achieved in front of the first crowd inside Estadio Azteca for over a year, not only gave Cruz Azul chance to celebrate in front of fans, but also provided catharsis for a club that had lost its previous six league finals. To cruzazulear means, in essence, to muck up a sure thing on the pitch and the term has become common parlance in Mexico due to Cruz Azul's aforementioned failures to win a title.

Indeed, the term is so widespread that it has entered the Royal Spanish Academy of Language's radar within its word observatory. And, though it has gone on to describe when other teams snatch defeat from the jaws of victory, the term has remained firmly identified with the club that was its inspiration. Following Cruz Azul's stunning elimination in the Guardianes semifinals against Pumas , when it contrived to go out even after racking up a advantage in the first leg, singer Eden Munoz penned "La Cruzazulie Contigo" "I Cruz Azuled it with you" to describe a failed romantic relationship.

Now that Cruz Azul has finally seen a championship result through, it seems fair to assume the strength and usage of the term itself will subside -- and probably lift the team in ESPN's Soccer Misery Index -- but such has been its legacy that perhaps only a string of titles would succeed in vanquishing cruzazulear for good.

How long has it been since Cruz Azul could celebrate? Well, back in , the No. The club seemed to be unstoppable, but it wasn't. The team couldn't grab a championship for another 17 years. In , Luis Fernando Tena took a group of players all the way to the final match of the Invierno La Maquina faced Leon, who had been the regular season leaders. The game was so close that the winner was determined during overtime.

Carlos Hermosillo scored a penalty kick in the th minute, after receiving a kick in the face by Leon goalkeeper Luis Angel Comizzo. That was the last time La Maquina hoisted a champion's trophy, despite playing over five finals ever since. Cruz Azul are the fourth-most successful Mexican club, as they have secured eight titles since they were promoted to the Liga MX in In , Cruz Azul received an invitation to compete in the pre-tournament of the Copa Libertadores, where they secured their ticket to the competition along with Venezuelan squad Tachira.

Coach Jose Luis Trejo amazed the world as he led Cruz Azul to the final match of the tournament, becoming the first Mexican club to achieve the feat.
