Expectations are high for the Seattle Sounders, who arrive as one of the main contenders for the title among Liga MX and MLS clubs. The Washington side earned the most points in the group stage, with 9 points, 11 goals scored, and only 2 conceded — numbers that highlight both their offensive power and defensive solidity.

The quarterfinals promise high-intensity clashes. Highlights include the showdown between Tigres and Inter Miami, as well as the matchup between Puebla and Seattle, where the MLS leader will look to confirm its status as favorite.

At this stage, eight clubs remain in the fight: Toluca, Pachuca, Tigres, and Puebla, representing Liga MX; and Seattle Sounders, Inter Miami, LA Galaxy, and Orlando City, representing MLS. Toluca and Seattle topped their respective groups, with the Mexican side earning 8 points and Seattle finishing with 9. If statistics were the only deciding factor, the American side would have the edge to win the tournament.
