Mexico's Chivas Guadalajara have endured a journey over time and space to reach the final of the Copa Libertadores.First, because they are outsiders in South America's equivalent of the Champions League.
Mexico is in North America. The distance between Mexico City and Buenos Aires, for example, is further than that between London and Mumbai. Guadalajara and Porto Alegre, home city of final opponents Internacional of Brazil, are even further apart.
Chivas are in a different hemisphere from their opponents in this campaign - Velez Sarsfield of Argentina, Libertad of Paraguay, Universidad de Chile, and now Internacional.
The Mexicans, then have clocked up plenty of air miles in the quest to become the first team from their country to win the Libertadores.
