It is important to mention the moment that both institutions are experiencing, since NYCFC won the first title in its short history last December 2021, when they beat Portland Timbers in the MLS Cup. Exactly on the same dates Atlas won the Liga MX championship again against León and yesterday he beat Pachuca to become a two-time champion.
This will be a valuable opportunity for the Mexican league, since over the last year the United States has managed to beat them repeatedly at the national team and club level. The balance of the Champions Cup since its creation gives us 1 championship for Liga MX (Tigres 2018) and 2 for MLS (Atlanta United in 2019 and Columbus Crew in 2021).
