ANL Tigres are targeting to become the first Mexican team to win South America's Libertadores Cup (their iwn version of the UEFA Champions League) and Gignac has expressed his readiness to help the club to achieve the feat.

"I'm very happy, I've come to win the league and the Libertadores," Gignac said.
