After what may be considered the best-ever result in Atlanta United’s shortlived history, the Five Stripes travel to Red Bull Arena with a 3-0 aggregate lead over the Supporters’ Shield winners.
Every Atlanta fan, however, will tell you that there is no room for comfort when the city holds a big lead. We all know the result of Super Bowl LI.
However, no team in Major League Soccer has ever come back from a 3-0 aggregate deficit. But then no team has also earned 71 points in a regular season until this very New York Red Bulls did.
