The Leagues Cup 2025 enters its decisive phase with a historic event: the semifinals will be made up exclusively of MLS teams, after all Liga MX representatives were eliminated in the quarterfinals.
For Hispanic fans in the United States, this edition of the tournament is especially attractive because it involves big names such as Lionel Messi and Luis Suárez, as well as teams with a long tradition in North American soccer.
