WEEKLY STORYLINES

THE PLACE TO BE: What a week. Vancouver Whitecaps FC will wrap up their stretch of five matches in 15 days with another key Western Conference clash against Real Salt Lake on Saturday in the warm confines of BC Place. The match will begin a run that sees five of the next seven league matches take place at home, and will be followed up by a full week of preparation leading into the MLS Season Pass Sunday Night Soccer clash against Los Angeles FC on Sunday, May 11. Vancouver will aim to continue their strong home form, as they've posted a record of 6W-1L-2D, scored 18 goals and kept four clean sheets across all competitions at BC Place this season.

'CAPS AT THE SUMMIT: Following their 3-1 road victory over Minnesota United FC last weekend, the 'Caps extended their climb at the top of the MLS Supporters' Shield and Western Conference standings with 23 points (7W-1L-2D), a full five points clear of second-placed Portland Timbers in the West. In addition, the win saw Vancouver extend their unbeaten road record in league play to five matches to begin the year (3W-0L-2D), marking the best five-game start on the road in the club's MLS era. Not to mention, the 'Caps are also riding a club-record nine-match unbeaten run across all competitions (5W-0L-4D), are tied for the most goals in the league with 20, have the best goal differential at +13, and are tied for the least amount of goals conceded with seven.

JOB'S NOT FINISHED: Wednesday night will live long in the memory for many 'Caps fans, players, and staff. The Blue and White punched their ticket to their first-ever Concacaf Champions Cup final with an incredible 5-1 aggregate victory over MLS rivals Inter Miami CF, thanks to a clinching 3-1 win at Chase Stadium in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. But the job's not finished. The 'Caps will now face LIGA MX side Cruz Azul in the final on Sunday, June 1. It'll mark the first-ever meeting between the two sides. The winner of the final will move on to the 2025 FIFA Intercontinental Cup and qualify for the 2029 FIFA Club World Cup.
