🆕 It took a lot to convince David Rodríguez to come to the #CanPL.
“I said to him, ‘David, you need to come.’ It’s your opportunity to show the world,” said Mejía.
After 2 stunners in the final, his decision was rewarded.

🆕 Diego Mejía has ruffled feathers all year for saying Atlético Ottawa is the best team in the #CanPL.
With a legendary performance from David Rodríguez, Ottawa is atop the snow summit.
Mejía can say whatever he wants now.

David Rodriguez on proving Diego Mejia was right to say Ottawa is the CPL's best:
"With all the respect to all the teams, they will laugh when they hear those comments, and we just prove it was true. So it just feels good to actually prove what coach says, what we are."

Here's the thing about David Rodriguez: his loan ends at the end of the year. This could easily be his final game in Ottawa. Who knows what happens next for him, but now, every few years, he can return to Ottawa and get a hero's ovation. He's a legend there now. That's so cool.

ATLÉTICO OTTAWA, YOUR 2025 #CANPL CHAMPIONS!
Ottleti win a first North Star Cup and a first trip to the CONCACAF Champions Cup with a comeback 2-1 win over Cavalry in a blizzard.
Diego Mejia has told us this team is the CPL's best all year. He wasn't wrong, just early.

DAVID RODRIGUEZ HAS SURELY WON THE CPL FINAL FOR OTTAWA!!
A bicycle kick to equalize, now a glorious chip to likely win it. Right in front of the supporters, too.
It's a party in the capital.

SERGIO CAMARGO IS IN THE GAME
He's been out since the final game of the regular season and missed two playoff games.
This could be the #CanPL 's World Series Bo Bichette equivalent.

How the ref saw that through the snow, I don't know. Right call either way.
