Marc Rzatkowski could still bask in Champions League glory — just on a different continent.
When he joined the Red Bulls on loan from sister club Red Bull Salzburg in January, the talented midfielder became one of just a handful of MLS players to make the unusual in-season switch from the UEFA Champions League to the Concacaf Champions League.
With the Red Bulls set to face Chivas Guadalajara in the first leg of their first-ever CCL semifinal Wednesday night in Mexico, Rzatkowski still has a chance to win a Champions League, a journey that began back in the summer in Austria when Salzburg started their qualifying matches in the more popular European version.
