Jenni Hermoso reminds everyone who’s in charge as Tigres Femenil chase another title

In a season defined by dominance, Tigres Femenil sit comfortably at the top of the Liga MX Femenil Apertura 2025, and much of that confidence runs through Jennifer Hermoso. The Spanish international isn’t just scoring goals — she’s shaping the mindset of a team that refuses to slow down.

“Of course we want to win everything,” Hermoso said in a recent interview shared by Tigres Femenil. “But I work to enjoy every day, to live it as if it were the last. The result at the end won’t define us.”

That perspective has resonated across the locker room. Tigres have built their campaign on balance and unity, sitting at 38 points after 15 matches, with 53 goals scored and only 8 conceded, the best defensive and offensive numbers in the league.

The power duo rewriting the record books

Hermoso’s partnership with Diana Ordóñez has become the heartbeat of Tigres’ attack. Both stand at 13 goals each, a combined force that has turned “El Volcán” into one of the toughest venues in Mexican football.

Still, Hermoso insists the personal stats are secondary.
“For me, the goal is something secondary,” she explained. “I’m proud of my work, whether I score or not. I play where I can help most, creating, connecting, defending.”

That versatility has made her indispensable in Pedro Losa’s tactical plan, where she operates between the lines as an advanced midfielder rather than a pure striker. Her intelligence, touch, and timing have redefined how Tigres attack.

Connection and identity

Tigres’ dominance hasn’t come from raw talent alone. Hermoso credits the chemistry among her teammates, particularly with María Sánchez and Diana Ordóñez — for elevating the team’s play.

“We’re learning each other’s movements,” she said. “It’s a more associative style, a clear identity for Tigres. María is one of the best assist providers, Diana one of the best finishers, and that balance makes us complete.”

That chemistry was on full display during Tigres’ 2-1 away win over Club América, a match many considered a preview of the upcoming playoffs. The late winner reinforced the team’s mental strength, something Hermoso has been preaching all season.

“It was a Liguilla-level match,” she said. “Winning it in the final minutes says a lot. It shows that we never stop fighting, that we believe until the end.”

A mindset built for champions

While fans and analysts see Tigres as the clear title favorites, Hermoso’s message remains grounded. For her, joy and consistency are what sustain greatness.

“I’m here to win,” she said, “but also to enjoy the journey.”

That mix of leadership and serenity may be the most dangerous weapon Tigres possess as the Apertura 2025 heads into its final stretch, and Jenni Hermoso is right at the center of it all.
