Real Salt Lake Bucks Trend, Advances in CONCACAF Champions League

The obvious focus will be the defending MLS Cup champs' 3-0-2 during that two-week gauntlet, which included a trip to Panama. But for a real sense of perspective on RSL's accomplishment, you have to rewind back to 2008.

That fall, CONCACAF expanded its club tournament and added a 16-team group stage. Four MLS clubs qualified for that first campaign, followed by five in 2009-10 as Toronto earned Canada's lone berth. Five entered again this term, equaling 14 MLS entries overall.
