A trip to the Concacaf Champions League final is on the line in a highly anticipated two-legged contest and the Max + Vince Podcast has you covered from all angles in a \\u201cCCL final or bust\\u201d episode. LAFC fought back to earn a point over the weekend in Nashville but that was just an appetizer to the main course. Without an MLS match until May 6, LAFC faces the Philadelphia Union twice, away and home, in a week. Max and Vince tell you why this rematch of the 2022 MLS Cup is huge for MLS and Concacaf.

The guys answer all these questions before bringing on former Max +1 analyst and Philadelphia Union midfielder Maurice Edu. With his shared allegiances, the guys ask Mo how he\\u2019s feeling going into the match and what he thinks the two teams will be looking to accomplish on the pitch. Finally, the guys ask Mo to complete the difficult task of picking a combined LAFC-Philly starting 11 to wrap up the podcast\\u2019s massive preview of the semifinal.\\n\\nRundown\\nWhat\\u2019s Coming Up | 0:00\\nA Gift To CCL | 2:51\\nMotivation Edge | 11:39\\nScary Philly | 13:38\\nLAFC In Rhythm | 18:30\\nEach Team Will Advance If | 26:23\\nMaurice Edu Joins The Show | 35:01\\nPhilly At Its Best | 47:54\\nLAFC Beating The Press | 54:54\\nMo\\u2019s Combined 11 | 1:03:18'
