In what will surely be a very exciting final, Pumas UNAM and Seattle Sounder will face each other for the first leg of this 2022 Concacaf Champions League Finals. Here you can find out the lineups of both teams for this game. It will be broadcast in the United States on FuboTV (free trial).
The Mexican team reaches these instances after going through a hard road, which began with the series against Saprissa from Costa Rica, continued with the New England Revolutions (whom they heroically defeated after losing the first leg 3-0), and finally to the difficult Cruz Azul. Pumas UNAM are ready to be history and they know that they are facing a great possibility.
The path of the Seattle Sounders, like that of the Mexicans, was not easy at all. They began by eliminating Motagua from Honduras, then they had to face Leon from Mexico to finally play a very tough series against the last MLS champions, New York City FC, whom they eliminated 4-1 on aggregate.
