Vancouver Whitecaps Extend MLS Unbeaten Run Ahead Concacaf Champions Cup Final

News summary

The Vancouver Whitecaps FC have extended their MLS-era club record unbeaten streak to 15 matches and are preparing for the 2025 Concacaf Champions Cup Final against Cruz Azul in Mexico City. Their journey to the final has been marked by dramatic second-leg heroics, including Tristan Blackmon's 93rd-minute goal against Pumas UNAM and a dominant semifinal victory over Inter Miami CF, despite the suspension of key midfielder Sebastian Berhalter for the final. The Whitecaps' history dates back to 1973, and a victory in the final would mark their first international trophy and only the second time an MLS team has won the Concachampions, highlighting the league's growing regional influence. Key players like Brian White, who leads with five goals in the tournament, and Pedro Vite will be essential, especially in Berhalter's absence. Vancouver aims to join Seattle Sounders FC as the only MLS clubs to win the modern continental tournament, securing prize money and qualification for future FIFA club competitions. Their path to the final involved overcoming tough opponents, including Saprissa, Monterrey, and Pumas UNAM, showcasing resilience and strong performances throughout the competition.
