Colorado Rapids midfielder Cole Bassett directs his teammates ahead of a goal kick during a game against Real Salt Lake at Dick’s Sporting Goods Park in Commerce City on Saturday, July 20, 2024.

The Leagues Cup run was as exhilarating as it was exhausting, with the Rapids securing a CONCACAF Champions Cup berth. For coach Chris Armas, there is no satisfaction yet. For players like midfielder Cole Bassett, the mindset is the same. Third place in Leagues Cup was nice, but the Rapids didn’t add a new trophy to the case.

The other three are against conference leader LA Galaxy, fifth-place Seattle and playoff longshot Sporting Kansas City.Rapids hold off Liga MX giants Club América in penalties to move onto Leagues Cup semifinal
