This past week has been an important one for CONCACAF at both the club and national levels, with MLS having their first sustained success against Liga MX clubs in the CONCACAF Champions League, and the first details of the CONCACAF Nations League.
Most of us are familiar with Liga MX’s domination of the CONCACAF Champions League. Since the introduction of the format, in 2008, all nine previous champions have been from Liga MX. In fact, seven of the nine runners-up have also been Liga MX clubs, with Real Salt Lake in 2010/2011 and Montreal Impact in 2014/2015 being the only non-Liga MX clubs to make it to the final.
