This afternoon the Montreal Impact launched a new website promoting their quarter-final tie in the CONCACAF Champions league (CCL) against Mexican outfit Club Pachuca. The website was developed by Montreal company Dix Huit Huit and highlights the 2009 CCL run against Santos Laguna and gives some context to the tournament as well as the match-up between the two teams.
With the Impact opening up training camp on January 23rd they are hoping to have a few new faces in the lineup. The latest rumour has Belgian international Laurent Ciman joining the team in the next few weeks. Ciman would be a huge boost to the Montreal defence that was constantly exposed during the 2014 MLS season.

Montreal Impact Launch New Website Hyping CCL Quarter-Finals
Press Release from Club:
MONTREAL – With just five weeks until the Champions League quarterfinal matchup with Mexican club Pachuca, the Montreal Impact launched a micro website to promote this major event: marquonslhistoire.com.
Developed by Montreal designers Deux Huit Huit, in collaboration with the Impact and illustrator Jimmy Vong, the site has been designed to facilitate the understanding of the Champions League and recount the club’s adventures in this tournament, with the ultimate goal of winning and earning a place at the FIFA Club World Cup.
The site invites you to travel back in time, recalling the Impact’s first experience in the quarterfinals of the tournament in 2009, against Mexican club Santos Laguna. After earning a 2-0 shutout in front of 55,571 spectators at Olympic Stadium, the Impact fell 5-2 a week later in Mexico, losing 5-4 on aggregate.
The club looks to write a new page in its history by winning on Mexican soil for the first time and reach the semifinal round, another first. The opening leg will take place on Tuesday, February 24, at 10pm ET (TVA Sports) in Mexico, while the home leg of this important aggregate goal matchup will be played on March 3, at Olympic Stadium.
