  PACHUCA   won the Concacaf Champions League, with a 1-0 win over Tigres (2-1 on aggregate).

 

This is their fifth title, and they became the first team to qualify for this year's FIFA Club World Cup (UAE 2017)

Rotterdam is pretty much exploding at the moment  

 

After 18 years, Feyenoord (one of the 'big 3' in the Netherlands) finally is the champion again on the very last day by winning at home, leading to the stadium and the big squares and everything sort of exploding  

 

Ajax was the other one that had a chance to take the title, but they needed Feyenoord to draw or lose.

I see Dirk Kuyt scored hattrick, didn't know he still plays football. And Giovanni van Bronckhorst is coach, I remember him from Barcelona.

Yep, Kuyt came back to Feyenoord to end the year-long drought with the dream of winning the championship  

 

The stadium exploded when he scored after 40 seconds (!) and again after 12 minutes  

 

Even more when he scored the 3-0 from a penalty, which really sealed the deal.

 

The only sort of pathetic thing is the players and stadium singing "Helemaal niets, helemaal niets, helemaal niets in Amsterdam!", meaning "Absolutely nothing, absolutely nothing, absolutely nothing in Amsterdam!" (the city of Ajax, their eternal enemies)

Nah, that's a common thing in football. Btw Ajax plays Europa league final, it may not be ''absolutely nothing''

My thoughts exactly  

 

It's sort of funny and sad for Feyenoord: if Ajax wins the Europa League, they sort of overshadow Feyenoord's historical title within 10 days
