Tiger players watch the previous game
The bubble in Orlando City Stadium allows players to analyze previous matches live.
They will remain in it until the end of the competition, and only those eliminated will be removed.
Who scored the goal in the first leg?
A curious fact is that the goal of advantage that the felines bring, was scored by Eduardo Vargas, who currently is no longer part of the team led by "Tuca" Ferreti.
The former Tigres forward is now part of Brazil's Serie A with Atletico Mineiro.
The players from New York arrived
The blue team is already in place to try and overturn a 1-0 score against the Tigers.
Will they achieve the feat?
Meeting between French people
The Tigers arrived yesterday afternoon at the Orlando, Florida facilities, where they will be encased to play the final of the competition.
In that place Pierre Gignac took a few moments to say hello and spend time with his compatriot, French soccer legend and current technical director of the Montreal Impact, Thierry Henry.
The championship that Tigres has not achieved
Despite being a vintage team in the Mexican League, the University players have come very close to winning the CONCACAF Champions League, but the furthest they have gone is to the final.
They lost against America in 2016, against Pachuca in 2017 and more recently against Monterrey in the regional classic that was the final in 2019.

The 22 year old Argentinean footballer has achieved such a level that he is currently selected as the national team of his country in the under 23 category.
Tigres key player
Once again the Mexican team will appeal to the offensive power offered by the French forward, Pierre Gignac.
He was the team's top scorer in Guard1anes 2020, and the second best in the season, just below Cruz Azul's Jonathan Rodriguez.
New York FC will try to come back
The picture seems complex, but because in the United States the locals are New Yorkers again, and although they come with a disadvantage on the scoreboard they could achieve the feat.
Tigres with the advantage
For the minimum, but those directed by "Tuca" Ferreti bring the advantage, that's why after nine months they will seek to close the series.
