It is CONCACAF Champions League final time. With the last MLS contenders departed in the semifinals, the 2016-17 tournament has narrowed to two contenders, both from Mexico's top flight, Liga MX: Pachuca and Tigres UANL.
Pachuca has the more impressive pedigree in CONCACAF's showpiece club competition: it is a four-time winner of the tournament. CONCACAF has been running some sort of regional competition for clubs under its oversight since 1962, so it counts for something that all four of Los Tuzos' titles were won in this century. But it has been seven years since Los Tuzos were last Concachampions.
