A challenge with a taste of revenge
This Thursday, Tigres faces FC Cincinnati in the Round of 16 of the Champions Cup. It’s not just another game. It is the first chapter of a story that MLS and Liga MX have been writing together.
Guido Pizarro said it clearly in the preview:
“I have been saying it for a long time: the MLS has become very even and at times there are teams that have surpassed teams in our league. They are two very even leagues.”
The respect is total. They know that their home rival has grown and that the TQL Stadium will be a difficult fortress to conquer.
Downs and setbacks before the opening whistle
The problems for the Monterrey team began before stepping on the grass. Fernando Gorriarán is out due to injury. A key player in the midfield that hurts to lose.
But it didn’t end there. The trip to Cincinnati was complicated for an unexpected reason: the airspace was restricted by the visit of President Donald Trump.
This took away valuable hours to acclimatize and prepare as much as possible. Arriving on time is an emotional and logistical blow that they must overcome.
Mentality will be key. Facing adversity like this, far from home, defines great teams.
Everything ready for battle
- When? Thursday, March 12.
