'We can be limitless': The impact of Columbus Crew's journey to Champions Cup final

PACHUCA, Mexico − The road to the CONCACAF Champions Cup final was never going to be easy for the Crew.

Playing against Liga MX clubs from the quarterfinals of the tournament and beyond, the Crew had to defeat the 2020 Champions Cup winner Tigres and the 2021 winner CF Monterrey back-to-back to advance to the final. And getting past Tigres in the quarterfinals required a penalty shootout road victory.
