Champions leagues

The Champions League gets underway again today as a full slate of games will take the spotlight around the world. But there is also another club tournament being played today.

Copa Libetadores actually started last week but Mexico's participation in it begins today as America plays at El Nacional and Necaxa visits Alianza Lima.

Champions League has better players and more renowned clubs but Libertadores is no second-rate tournament. Many of those games are as pulsating as Champions League matches.

As far as Mexican clubs go, I think America will get through the group stage. Necaxa probably has the toughest group of the three thought Toluca did draw Boca Juniors. I think America and Toluca will go through to the knockout rounds, though, and Necaxa will fall just short.
