A minutos
We are seconds away from the start of the match between the LAFC and the Tigers in Orlando.
How many goals will Gignac score tonight?
This is the trophy that the winner will take
The only victory for MLS
The only time an MLS team has beaten an MX League club was in 1997 when DC United beat Toluca FC by a single goal.
The United States runners-up
The Galaxy in 1997 and Real Salt Lake in 2011 have been the US teams to lose the final of the Concachampions.
The last time...
The last time a US team won this competition was in 2000 with the Los Angeles Galaxy after beating Olympia 3-2 in the final.
In case you missed the LAFC roster
With a lot of experience
Bob Bradley knows what the rivalry between Mexico and the United States means, as he was long in charge of the Stars and Stripes, so his contribution to his boys will be key.
The goleo champion is also defined
It is not only the champion team that is defined, since both Vela and Gignac, with five goals, want to be crowned champions of goleo.
They won't miss the game
Both Javier Aquino and André Gignac, who were doubtful until yesterday and did not train, will be in the field today without any problem, being key pieces in the attack of the cats.
Same alignment
Bob Bradley decides not to move it to the stop he had against America and repeats the same 11 players to try to win the championship.
XI LAFC
Vermeer; Blackmon, Murillo, Segura, Palacios; Kaye, Blessing, Cifuentes; Vela, Musovski, Rosi.
XI Tigres
Guzmán: Salcedo, Ayala, Rodríguez, Dueñas; Carioca, Pizarro, Aquino, Quiñones; Fernández, Gignac.
To break the curse
Ricardo Ferretti and the Tigers are looking for their first title after losing three finals to America, Pachuca and Monterrey.
This is how the LAFC came about
Led by Captain Carlos Vela, the LAFC has stepped up to the plate with the aim of lifting the title.
Taking care of Gignac
LAFC coach Bob Bradley said they will have to pay special attention to what Frenchman Gignac, who has already scored five goals in this tournament, can do.
We are going to have a great game. Gignac has a great personality and he is a great player, I have seen him a lot, he is a strong reference in the attack. We understand what it means to be a great player.
Keep a cool head
Ricardo Ferretti assured that the key will be to be calm all the time and avoid falling into provocations that affect them:
"I hope that the players on the court have an adequate behavior, that the technical bodies follow the same example of good behavior, what has happened in these games that we have been here, I understand it is not so simple, the blood boils, the intensity, the dispute, but if we want things to be good we have to support and anticipate much more".
All of Mexico is Tigres
With the exception of Monterrey, all the Mexican fans want the Tigers to win the cup to prevent an American team from winning it under this edition, which dates back to the 2008-09 season.
They have already arrived at the stadium
The Tigres are already arriving at the stadium, highlighting the presence of the French goal scorer Gignac, who will be present tonight.
This will be the ball
This will be the ball with which the final of the Concachampions between Tigres and LAFC will be played.
