The two Liga MX sides bring star power in legends Blanco and Ronaldinho, as well as former USMNT star Herculez Gomez. Blanco, who captains Puebla, has already announced his retirement from futbol in early April, while Brazilian star Ronaldinho joined Querétaro last year. Widely regarded as one of the best players of his generation and world-renowned for his technique, Ronaldinho spent the bulk of his career in Europe, suiting up for powerhouses Paris Saint-Germain, FC Barcelona and AC Milan. The duo is tied for most goals in Confederations’ Cup history. Gomez is currently on loan to Puebla from Tijuana.
