Monterrey hosted Tigres UANL in the second leg of the Concacaf Champions League final tonight, hoping to win a trophy this season while Tigres hoped to finally win an international trophy at the home of their most bitter rival. Monterrey were looking for a bit of payback themselves, as Tigres defeated Los Rayados in the Apertura 2017 final in the Estadio BBVA Bancomer, denying Monterrey a chance to win Liga MX for the first time since 2010.
Monterrey came into the match with a 1-0 lead over Tigres, having beat their cross-town rivals in the first leg of the CCL final last week.
