LAFC Season Pass S02/E19: 2020 Season Finale, CONCACAF Champions League Recap
2020 is over, and for Los Angeles Football Club, the year ended 20 minutes short of a historic victory in the CONCACAF Champions League Final.
After defeating Cruz Azul and Club America in thrilling match ups, a Diego Rossi golazo had LAFC just 20 minutes away from the North American crown. However, Tigres UANL, which had lost three of the last four tournament finals coming into the 2020 edition, took control of the match in its last breaths and pulled off a 2-1 comeback victory.
The result was a disappointment, but there is so much good to glean from LAFC's run to the final. The club showed toughness and heart in taking the hardest possible route through the tournament; LAFC became the first club to eliminate three Mexican teams in one Champions League campaign, and very nearly eliminated a fourth. Despite an up and down MLS season that ended in a quick playoff dismissal, LAFC's performance on the international stage shows that it is still one of America's premier clubs. You'd better ask somebody.
Writers at Large Alex Dwyer and Ryan Wallerson, alongside Josh Gross, recap and discuss LAFC's tournament run, highlighting all of the brightest moments from the team's Cinderella run in Orlando.
