Fresh off an unprecedented treble in 2017, MLS Cup champion Toronto FC will open its CONCACAF Champions League campaign against the Colorado Rapids in the round of 16 in February.
The matchup promises to be a short but chilly trip. But should Toronto progress, its road in the revamped club championship covering North and Central America and the Caribbean will get more difficult, with Mexico’s Tigres UANL and Club America and MLS rival FC Dallas on Toronto’s side of the draw.
Tigres won the Liga MX’s Apertura final earlier this month, defeating league-leader Monterrey after finishing second in the standings.
