The Leagues Cup this summer featuring Liga MX and MLS teams will be a historic tournament and crossover between the two leagues. For the first time every team from both leagues will compete in the same tournament at the same time.
Usually, the only time an MLS and Liga MX team faced off was in the Concacaf Champions League for just a select few. Now every team is involved and guaranteed to play at least one opponent from the rival league.
Wondering who your favorite team will play? Let’s look at the Leagues Cup draw that happened on Friday.
La Liga MX anunció que está monitoreando de cerca la situación judicial de Dani Alves. El futbolista de Pumas acudió este viernes de manera voluntaria a una comisaría de Barcelona, España, para declarar en torno a una acusación de agresión sexual que pesa en su contra, y la jueza que lleva la causa decidió dejarlo en prisión preventiva y sin derecho a fianza hasta que se realice el juicio.
BARCELONA — Dani Alves appeared before a judge in Barcelona on Friday over a sexual assault allegation after Spanish police detained and questioned the Brazil defender and the public prosecutor requested he be jailed on remand.
A spokesperson for the local Mossos d'Esquadra force said officers had taken Alves, who has denied the allegation, to a court office after his arrest where a judge would decide on his case.
After a winning debut in the Clausura, Pumas UNAM is back to the life of misery that they've experienced in Liga MX the last few months. The team lost 3-0 in their away game vs. Santos Laguna this past Saturday and fans are already asking for the dismissal of coach Rafa Puente.
Por casi 80 minutos, la cabeza de los aficionados de Pumas giraba de manera descontrolada. Nauseabunda. El equipo comenzaba un nuevo torneo, con un nuevo técnico, pero los problemas en cancha parecía seguir torturando el juicio de cada simpatizante universitario.
Sin embargo, bastó un toque de magia de Dani Alves para que la narrativa cambiara y se prendiera la ilusión con un 2-1 sobre FC Juárez en modo remontada que agita corazones. Al menos hasta la Jornada 2. Porque así vive Pumas. Partido a partido.
