Who are the Tigres?

As a European, when we are asked which team is the best in the Americas at the moment, the first teams that come to mind are Boca Juniors, River Plate, Santos Corinthians. The Mexican club Tigres wouldn't even cross our minds and yet they're having a fantastic season. 

In 2015, the Tigres were given the opportunity to have a more international profile when they played in the Libertadores Cup. 

The next challenge for the Tigre's footballers and manager Ricardo Ferretti will be to win the CONCACAF Champions League in which they will aim to qualify for the Club World Cup. 

Could the Tigres become the best team in the Americas?
