Reigning MLS Cup champions Columbus Crew became the circuit’s latest team to fall short against Mexican opposition in Saturday’s Concacaf Champions Cup final.
MLS's 2022 Concacaf title might not have been a sign that the U.S. and Canada's top soccer league is close to overtaking Mexico's Liga MX as the best in North America. Reigning MLS Cup champions Columbus Crew became the circuit's latest to fall short against better funded Mexican opposition in Saturday's Concacaf Champions Cup final.
