El Club León se coronó en la Liga de Campeones de la Concacaf tras derrotar al Los Angeles F.C por marcador de 1-0 ( 3-1 global) desde el BMO Stadium. El encuentro regaló varias oportunidades por ambos lados sin embargo el conjunto esmeralda comenzó a dominar y al minuto 20 apareció Lucas Di Yoro para recibir un centro de Ivan Moreno y disparar para dejar sin oportunidad a John McCarthy, arquero del LAFC, Con su primer título internacional, el equipo comandado por el argentino Nicolás Larcamon le regresó a México la corona del torneo pues recordemos que el año pasado los Pumas cayeron ante los Seattle Sounders para terminar con una racha de 16 años consecutivos de triunfos mexicanos. A pesar de que el León no clasificó a la Liguilla de la Liga MX en el clausura 2023, no desaprovechó la oportunidad de imponer el nivel del futbol mexicano ante la MLS y ahora su siguiente objetivo será participar en la próxima edicion del mundial de clubes.

Lucas Di Yorio scored in the first half, and Club León secured its first CONCACAF Champions League title with a 1-0 victory over Los Angeles FC. León won 3-1 on aggregate after winning the first leg of the final 2-1 in Mexico on Wednesday night. The Liga MX club thrilled its thousands of traveling supporters with another winning effort at LAFC's daunting BMO Stadium, highlighted by Di Yorio's goal in the 20th minute. León finished sixth in the Liga MX standings last month, but took out the defending Major League Soccer champions with superior play in both legs. León is the ninth Mexican club to win the Champions League in its current format, which began in 2002.

A year ago, the Seattle Sounders became MLS’s first Champions League winner in the current format, making another argument for the leagues' increasing parity. But LAFC lost the Champions League final for the second time in four seasons: The club also lost the 2020 final to Tigres after knocking off León with a second-leg comeback victory earlier in that competition. Mexican teams have won 17 of the last 18 CCL titles. Cherundolo believes this final underlines the limitations created by MLS' more stringent financial regulations and subsequent roster limitations. With a hunger to gain international recognition for their remarkable success in just six seasons of existence, LAFC's coaches and executives had described this final as the most important match in team history, although most acknowledged the MLS titles mean more to fans.

In the first leg, León took a two-goal lead into second-half injury time before a dramatic strike from Denis Bouanga kept LAFC's hope alive despite its 2-1 loss. LAFC opened the rematch with an uncharacteristic five-defender formation including Italian great Giorgio Chiellini, who hadn't played since April 26 due to a leg injury. Cherundolo said he chose the formation for “more control” and better attacking on the wings. LAFC was more assertive on offense than in the first leg, but Di Yorio still boosted León's lead when the Argentine forward got space in the box and bounced a shot that got away from LAFC goalkeeper John McCarthy, who made a handful of spectacular saves in the opening match. LAFC managed a handful of moderately promising chances in the second half, but still only put three shots on goal. León goalkeeper Rodolfo Cota made a stellar save on Timothy Tillman's header in the fourth minute of second-half injury time. The lively home-and-home final was the latest positive step in the partnership between MLS and Liga MX, which have partnered on multiple competitive business ventures in recent years to create revenue while boosting North American soccer's global profile.In late July, both leagues will pause domestic competition for the third edition of the Leagues Cup club tournament, which will feature every team in MLS and Liga MX participating for the first time.
