  • Cruz Azul are the second-most successful team in the history of the CONCACAF Champions Cup.

Cruz Azul vs. Vancouver Whitecaps Picks

Just a day after the Champions League final in Munich, North America’s continental club prize will be dished out on Sunday.

Vancouver already knows what it takes to win in Mexico City after their heroic win earlier in the season. It is hard to dismiss the progression that has been made under Sorensen over the last six months.

However, Cruz Azul have the ability to rise to the occasion when the pressure is at its most intense. Therefore, there could be more glory for Mexican clubs in the CONCACAF Champions Cup final in 2025.
