The visit of Carlos Vela to León dominated the headlines of the city's newspapers, with one of them even giving away a poster of the LAFC player. From the early hours of this Tuesday, football was in the air, with people wearing their León shirts seen on the streets, and some even sporting accessories from the MLS team. Hotels expect high demand for the first club-level match in Mexico of the "Bombardero".
Vela was the protagonist at the newsstands. The match between León and LAFC appeared on the front page of at least three newspapers. "am" titled it "Vela 'paralyzes' the city", while "El Heraldo" only highlighted the Fiera's match, without emphasizing the "Bombardment". On the other hand, "Al día" put "L.A. Fiera is one and only" on its front page, and on the inside, they gave away a poster of the '10' from each team, on one side the player from the MLS team and on the other, Luis Montes.
Despite the tickets being sold out since Saturday, some fans decided to line up at the Nou Camp ticket offices since 7 in the morning, hoping that a new batch of tickets for the first leg of the Concacaf Champions League round of 16 would be released.
Vela's first match in Mexico at club level is filled with expectations, not only for the people living in León, but also for the hotels who expect fans coming from Los Angeles. This is why the various accommodations surrounding the venue are expected to have high demand for tonight.
