Because he moved to city rival Cruz Azul , who won the title hat trick in the following three years, immediately after his only championship title with America , López Salgado is one of the few players in Mexico who managed the feat of winning four championship titles in a row. Otherwise (almost) without exception players from the “Campeonísimo” era who won four consecutive champions with Chivas Guadalajara between 1959 and 1962 succeeded. A record that still exists for a club in Mexico.
Overall, López Salgado won five championship titles with Cruz Azul before he moved to neighbor Necaxa in 1982 , where he let his active career end in the 1982/83 season.
