Monterrey and Tigres set for thrilling battle for Concacaf Champions League crown

The two rivals were on a collision course to compete for the CCL trophy and now the storybook final is set

Here we go again. After history kept rivals Monterrey and Tigres out of the same final for 43 years, we've been gifted with another Final Regia just a year and a half after the first.

Rayados stomped Sporting Kansas City 5-2 Thursday night, putting the finishing touches on a 10-2 aggregate win in an embarrassing Concacaf Champions League for MLS. Now, the region's most important club tournament, and its spot in the Club World Cup, will be decided in the same city with the clubs playing the deciding second leg just eight miles from where they'll contest the first.
