Debreceni's ascension to the group phase of the Champions League is a great story, but there is a CONCACAF angle. Honduran midfielder Luís Ramos has been with the side since the summer and has played in only three matches with the club, but he started and played the entire second leg. As he described to Honduras' sports daily Diez, the celebrations have been pretty raucous. Tomorrow Debreceni will find out who they'll play in the group stage, but they deserve to bask in the moment.
Another Honduran, Víctor Bermúdez, plays for Anderlecht who were in the Champions League playoff, but he didn't play in either match and the Belgian side were mauled by Lyon 8-2 on aggregate.
