The match will be played on Thursday, October 28, at the BBVA Bancomer Stadium in Nuevo León, Mexico, at 9:00 p.m.
The Águilas del América and the Rayados de Monterrey will play this Thursday, October 28 the grand final of the Concacaf Champions League, in the BBVA Bancomer Stadium in Nuevo León, Mexico, at 9:00 p.m.
The two Mexican teams will seek to consecrate themselves again with the most important club tournament in Concacaf and qualify for the next edition of the Club World Cup, which will be held in February 2022 in the United Arab Emirates.
From the hand of Argentine strategist Santiago Scolari, America will play its eighth final of the Champions League and will search for its eighth title, since he has never lost any of the finals he has reached. The last consecration was given five years ago, when in 2016 he beat Tigres.
To reach the last game, the Eagles eliminated Honduran Olimpia in the round of 16; in the quarterfinals, the American Portland Timbers; and in the semifinals, to the Philadelphia Union American.
For his part, Mexican coach Javier Aguirre will seek to guide Monterrey to their fifth title. Like its opponent, the Rayado team has never lost a final in the competition and managed to shout champion in all the finals they reached: the last in 2019 and also defeating Tigres.
Monterrey reached the final after defeating the Dominican Pantoja in the round of 16; in the quarterfinals, the American Columbus Crew; and in the semifinals, the Mexican Cruz Azul.
However, it is the America the team that arrives with a best streak to the game, being leader of the 2022 Apertura tournament of Liga MX and with a streak of six games without losing, of the limes four have been victories. Very different from Monterrey, which arrives with four losses in a row and is eighth in the championship.
But the painting directed by Aguirre will not make it easy for him, because it has the most valued squad of the championship and with international players such as the Argentine goalkeeper Esteban Andrada, the Chilean Sebastián Vegas and the Colombian Stefan Medina.
Regarding his last direct confrontations, the America add 21 wins and the set of Monterrey 17; while they tied in the other 16 games.
