Next Thursday, October 28, Rayados and América will meet at the BBVA Bancomer Stadium to dispute the trophy of the CONCACAF Champions League, as a single final will be played to know who will take the ticket to the next Club World Cup.
Even though the title is an obligation for both teams at the request of the board and the fans, there is no doubt that for the azulcremas it is more important to win the championship for all that the institution represents at the national and international level, which every year is fully forced to reap a title because otherwise it is considered a failure.
Added to this, the best way for the Argentine Santiago Solari end up convincing the specialists, media and fans would be achieving the first championship of his era, since although he has reaped good numbers in Liga MX and Concachampions his style of play is not quite attractive and to top it all, in the League he added a streak of one point out of nine possible in the last days, before the victory over Pumas.
Despite being the Mexican club with the most titles in ConcachampionsIt is vital for the Eagles to stay in that state and for that reason what better way than to extend the number of stars, after having raised the last one in the 2015-2016 season. Thanks to this, he could keep yelling at his biggest rivals like Pumas, Chivas and Blue Cross who is the boss of the four ‘big’.
On the other hand, the fans of the capital have constantly asked in the networks for the departure of the sports president Santiago BanosTherefore, if they manage to win the Concachampions they could calm the waters for a while because they would be celebrating instead of throwing tantrums for not playing beautifully and convincingly, without forgetting that the owner Emilio Azcarraga you will want to place the trophy in your showcases.
Yes OK Monterrey It has also grown a lot in recent years, so much so that it is seen more and continues to fight titles than several of the four ‘big’, it will never be the same demand to win as that of the AmericaFurthermore, even if they lose, they will hardly cease Javier Aguirre even though some may classify it as a failure, although in reality it has a high chance of being the winners and contesting its fifth Mundialito.
At the end of the day, the winner will have extra motivation at the close of Grita México 2021 because they would be fighting for a double, which few teams can boast of lately, now that the tournament is no longer being played. MX Cup. It is almost certain that they will see each other again in the League for the title, since they walk in the first places, the azulcremas as first and the regios as fourth, in the absence of five dates.
