The Club World Cup already starts and continues this Friday, December 15, but now, it’s the turn of Mexico’s Leon, who will play in the quarter-finals against Japanese side Urawa Red Diamonds.
Likewise, the Colombians will make their first appearance in this edition of the Club World Cup, as the Mexican club has three coffee farmers who are also looking for international glory.

Players such as William Desillo, Steven Barreiro and Omar Fernandez will play a leading role with the CONCACAF Champions League champions.
However, the semi-final head-to-head against Manchester City will not be an easy task as Lyon have experienced frustration in the defensive zone recently as they have not kept a clean sheet and they have conceded an average of two goals in their last four games.
In addition, Leon’s aim is to surpass the participation of Tigres UANL in the 2020 season, which reached the final, so the Cat team hopes to become the first Mexican team to receive this competition.
