TORREON, Mexico -- LA Galaxy captain Robbie Keane believes Major League Soccer is level with Liga MX in terms of quality, having seen a gradual improvement in the northern league since joining in 2011.
"If you look at the MLS in terms of the first year I came until now, you would say that the MLS now would be on par with the Mexican league," Keane said in a news conference ahead of the Galaxy's CONCACAF Champions League quarterfinal second leg against Santos Laguna.
"As the Mexican league has stayed [the same], the MLS has got bigger and I think it's going to continue to get bigger.
