The CONCACAF Champions League Final kicks off tonight from Mexico, as LAFC travel for the first leg against León. It will be the second time in Champions League action that these two sides meet, after the black & gold completed a magical Round of 16 comeback in 2020. Having eventually lost that final, LAFC are back and looking to finish the job this time around.

It’s been a hell of a season for LAFC so far. You can count the losses for the defending MLS champions on one hand, and while a couple of those losses have occurred recently, this is still one of the best teams in CONCACAF. After a seemingly endless wave of quick turnarounds, LAFC finally had a week to rest, recover, and focus on the challenge ahead.
Injuries
LAFC: OUT – Maxime Crepeau (left leg), Tony Leone (right leg), Giorgio Chiellini (lower extremity), Kellyn Acosta (lower extremity). QUEST. – Jesus Murillo (lower extremity), Aaron Long (lower extremity)
How to Watch
The match is set to kickoff at 7pm PT from Estadio León, in Mexico. The match will be broadcast live on FS1 (ENG) and TUDN (SPA). Fans can also listen to the match live on AM 980 La Mera Mera.
