GIACOMETTI: Breaking down the draw
The UEFA Champions League has just come to a thrilling conclusion, but Champions League action in our neck of the woods is just getting started.
On Monday night, the top teams from around the continent learned their fate as CONCACAF officials held the official draw for the 2016/17 Scotiabank CONCACAF Champions League in Miami.
Making their third appearance (2009-10; 2014-15), the New York Red Bulls are back in the region’s most prestigious club competition by virtue of their 2015 Supporters’ Shield triumph.
After being assigned to three different pots, the 24 teams were then randomly selected into one of eight possible groups, and the Red Bulls now know their upcoming opponents.
