Toluca or Tigres? AI predicts 2026 CONCACAF Champions Cup winner
A Mexican final will decide the CONCACAF Champions Cup on the same day European soccer crowns its new king.
Soccer leagues around the world are coming to an end and, this Saturday, May 30, we will have a new CONCACAF Champions Cup winner when Tigres face Toluca in an all-Mexican final, after both knocked a Major League Soccer team out of the tournament. On the same day the UEFA Champions League champion is crowned, the Concachampions winner will also be decided.
Despite losing the first leg in Los Angeles against LAFC, led by Bouanga and Son, Mohamed’s Toluca won the return leg to complete an emphatic comeback and book their place in the final. That had been the main objective for the Red Devils, who were unable to fight for a third straight Liga MX title.
Tigres also did their job in their semifinal against an MLS team, with Nashville SC the victim. In the first leg, Ángel Correa scored a superb goal to give Pizarro’s side the advantage, while in the decisive game, Juan Brunetta sealed a 2-0 aggregate win.
Tigres or Toluca? AI gives its Concachampions prediction
ChatGPT was asked who would be the new CONCACAF Champions Cup champion between the two Mexican teams, Tigres and Toluca, taking into account the strength of their squads and the fact that Turco Mohamed and Pizarro are their coaches.
“Today I see Deportivo Toluca slightly ahead of Tigres UANL to lift the CONCACAF Champions Cup. Not by a huge margin, but because there are three factors that tip the balance: the Nemesio Diez, the collective moment and Antonio Mohamed’s tactical reading.”
