Last December 22 UANL Tigers was established as Champion of the Concacaf Champions League for the first time in its history by defeating by 2-1 a Los Angeles Football Club. Andre Pierre Gignac was the great figure of the contest (scoring title included) and, later, Regiomontanos relied on him to carry out a historic job in the Club World Cup.
The Felines have set the bar very high in this regard, so the teams that will compete in the next edition of the Concachampions will have the difficult task of repeating or improving their feat. The organization published the dates and times of the Eighth Finals matches moments ago, which will be in a month and a half.
