LAFC: CONCACAF Champions League a historic opportunity
LAFC embark on their first CONCACAF Champions League venture this February. The competition offers an opportunity to make history, something the flashy two-year-old organisation will be keen to achieve.
The CONCACAF Champions League has been a longstanding mountain that Major League Soccer teams have failed to climb. Since the restructuring of the competition in 2008, no MLS team has won the competition.
During that time, every winner has hailed from Mexico while only three runners-up have come from MLS, Real Salt Lake in 2011, the Montreal Impact in 2015, and Toronto FC in 2018. In fact, there have 44 semi-finalists since 2008. Only nine have been from MLS.
