We are one game away from meeting the new CONCACAF Champions League champion. The first leg left us 2-1 in favor of Lyon. The definition will be on Sunday at the Los Angeles Soccer Club stadium.
The situation is complicated for LAFC to return. Not so much because of the score, in which the difference is only one goal. But because of the way Lyon beat Angelino in the first leg and the feelings he said about the duel left.
The task of Carlos Vela and his comrades is complex. Therefore, it would be very appreciated if they could raise the trophy. This means that they have completely reversed their bad Wednesday night and thus will be the new undisputed king of the Continent.
Let’s enter the realm of hypothetical ramifications that Concachampions would have in the “Barrio Angelino” showcases.
Los Angeles Galaxy He is the maximum winner in MLS Cups, with 5. The only one who closely follows him is D.C. Unitedwith 4. Both formed the dynasties at that time.
My comfort Capital And the Also include Supporters shield (4 each) f US Open Cup (4 to 3 in favor of the capitalists).
Also, they are the only ones who have shown their face in CONCACAF and have been Confederation champions before them Seattle Sounders Breaking last year’s Mexican dominance and emilisera drought.
Critics say it was easier to win back then. They forgot to mention that at that time the distances between MLS clubs and the Mexicans were very bad, and with the Central Americans and the possibilities were similar at best.
In addition, D.C. United has the commendable Inter-American Cup which they won against the then Libertadores champion, Vasco de Gama.
LAFC will not outshine the big two. But he would come close to a few more MLS cups.
The best of the modern era
Seattle Sounders He has made an important story since entering Major League Soccer in the 2009 season. Starting from there, it must be made clear that LAFC did not go into effect until 9 years later.
The Sounders have a couple of MLS Cup titles, 4 US Open Cups, 1 Supporters Shield and a recent Concacaf title which is very valuable to the entire league for breaking the streak of Liga MX clubs.
LAFC already owns a Supporters’ Shield, the MLS Cup, and is about to become the Concachampions.
Angelenos will be almost on par with Esmeraldas and with 9 fewer seasons than Cascadia. It will also be necessary to see if LAFC can maintain the long and steady success of the Sounders.
Complete happiness! Seattle Sounders lift the CONCACAF Cup
Times are changing in CONCACAF
One swallow doesn’t make a summer. That swallow was last year’s Seattle Sounders. If LAFC sticks, we can start to give that conversation another twist.
However, even with LAFC holding the trophy, it would be bold to say we are in times of change. Mexican dominance lasted 16 consecutive years. In no other Confederation has there been such prolonged domination by clubs from one country.
Will it be important for MLS to link addresses? definitely. But to talk about a change in the post office, one must be more careful. Because until they win it, it will be precisely against Liga MX clubs. It would be necessary to go back in time to find a definitive without Mexican representation; 20 years.
AZTEC SUMMER PRELUDE vs. the Stars and Stripes
It is undeniable that the football rivalry between Mexico and the United States has reached its peak. Both at the selection level and at the club level.
LAFC v Lyon is another chapter of it. The winner knows more because of the rivalry that exists, and the loser gets hurt twice.
It is a prelude to a summer ahead with more promising episodes of rivalry.
In the national team, we are sure to live the classic United States vs. Mexico in the Nations League semi-finals. And in the Gold Cup, they both start as favorites to meet in the Grand Final for the title.
