Tuca Ferretti's squad is looking for its first major international trophy but must go through crosstown rival Rayados to earn the prize
There's something missing from Tigres' trophy case, though perhaps not for much longer. The club has been remarkable this decade, winning four league titles and a Copa MX, but an international title always has been elusive. Tigres nearly lifted the Copa Libertadores in 2015 despite the South American championship being slanted against Mexican teams. Eventually, they fell short in the final with River Plate taking the second leg 3-0.
That's been the story in the Concacaf Champions League as well, with Tigres looking to avoid a third defeat in the final and lift their first-ever international trophy.
