The Concacaf Champions Cup quarterfinals are here, and Tuesday will see one of the best in MLS face off against a Liga MX powerhouse.
The Columbus Crew will play host to Tigres in the first leg, as the MLS Cup champions look to take a big step toward a semifinal appearance.
It will be a quick turnaround for the Crew, which drew 2-2 against Nashville in MLS play on Saturday. Tigres will have one extra day of rest, having defeated Puebla 3-2 in a Liga MX match on Friday.

Columbus received an automatic bye into the last 16, and defeated fellow MLS side Houston Dynamo 2-1 on aggregate to reach the last eight. Tigres have advanced past consecutive MLS sides, easily defeating Vancouver and then Orlando City.
The big question for Columbus surrounds the status of star forward Cucho Hernández, who missed Saturday’s game against Nashville after an undisclosed violation of team policy.
Getting a win and/or keeping Tigres from getting an away goal will be vital for the Crew ahead of next week’s return leg at the imposing El Volcán.
