Ten years ago, LAFC was a club in the infancy of its existence. Having been founded in October 2014, there was very little expectation that they would become one of the biggest teams in the US.
But, a decade later, they find themselves competing in the Club World Cup on home soil. Their first task? Taking on Enzo Maresca's Chelsea.
This would be a daunting challenge for many, but LAFC are a team on the rise that have received significant backing to get to their current position. They are unlikely to go down without a fight.
