For this purpose, we apply principal components to a historical domestic and international results database along with variables related to the fans and the market value of the franchises roster from 2011-2019. The results allow us to analyze the evolution of the greatness latent variable over time, concluding that, in the window of time analyzed, Club América is the greatest team, followed by C.D. Guadalajara and C.F. Cruz Azul. Additionally, nowadays, Club Tigres de la Universidad Autónoma de Nuevo León and C.F. Monterrey displace teams like Deportivo Toluca F.C. and Club Universidad Nacional.]]></p></abstract>

Se realizan análisis de componentes principales a diversos conjuntos de datos durante el periodo 2011-2019, que incluyen variables relacionadas con éxitos deportivos - tanto nacionales como internacionales - y otras como la popularidad y el valor de mercado de los equipos. Los resultados permiten analizar el concepto de grandeza en el tiempo, lo anterior a través de la variable latente estimada. Concluimos que el equipo más grande dentro del periodo analizado es el Club América, seguido del C.D. Guadalajara y del C.F. Cruz Azul. Adicionalmente, en la actualidad, el Club Tigres de la Universidad Autónoma de Nuevo León y el C.F. Monterrey desplazan a equipos como el Deportivo Toluca F.C. y el Club Universidad Nacional.]]></p></abstract>
