The Columbus Crew will face the team’s toughest test yet in 2021 on Wednesday in the friendly confines of historic Crew Stadium. Mexican powerhouse CF Monterrey comes to Columbus for a CONCACAF Champions League quarterfinal showdown against the reigning MLS Cup champions.
Monterrey will bring plenty of Champions League experience to Ohio’s capital, having won the tournament four times, including an unprecedented threepeat from 2010-2013. Monterrey most recently took home the title in 2019. Clearly, Rayados (striped ones) are no strangers to the big occasion and have proven their ability to navigate through the tournament to find themselves on top.
