América Seeks to Reaffirm Its Dominance in Concacaf Champions League


This Tuesday, América will host Cruz Azul in a key quarterfinal match of the Concacaf Champions League. The blue-and-creams, with three consecutive league titles, aim to further solidify their status as the tournament’s most successful team, while Cruz Azul, if crowned this year, would equal América’s seven championships.

Despite the injury of Henry Martín, América still boasts a powerful squad. With Brian Rodríguez and Víctor Dávila leading the attack, coach André Jardine will look for a home victory, relying on his team’s strong defense and offense, and aiming to avoid conceding goals to ensure an advantage for the return leg.

Cruz Azul Aims to Pull off a Surprise


Meanwhile, Cruz Azul enters the match with hopes of surprising América, after a tough start to the year but showing recovery under coach Vicente Sánchez. Despite the challenges, the Celestes are firmly fighting for a spot in the semifinals.
