The last match of the trilogy between León and Tigres will be played tonight at the Nou Camp Stadium after the first leg of the Concacaf Champions League semi-final in Nuevo Leon ended with a 2-1 win for the UANL side.
Both sides met in the same venue for the Liga MX Clausura 2023 matchday 17 clash last Sunday with Leon running out with a solid 3-0 win.

The ‘Panzas Verdes’ are looking to make history in reaching their first ever Concachampions final and Nicolas Larcamon’s side are aware that a 1-0 win would secure a final berth with the away goal rule still being used by Concacaf.
Who will Leon-Tigres play in the Concacaf Champions League final?
LAFC consolidates their place in the final on Tuesday night with a 3-0 win over Philadelphia Union at BMO Field in downtown LA.
A Timothy Tillman goal put the ‘black and gold’ in the driving seat and two late goals from Opoku and in-form Denis Bouanga sealed a 4-1 aggregate win for Steve Cherundolo’s men as they look to add the Concacaf Champions League title to their recent MLS Cup win last November.
The final will be played on a home-away basis with games scheduled for 31 May and 4 June.
