And today, divine soccering providence smiled down on all of us. New York City FC star man David Villa has won the 2016 Landon Donovan Major League Soccer MVP trophy.

The typical media scrum was on hand at Spring Studios in Tribeca, joined by a crew of NYCFC fans from the Third Rail Supporters Club, Villa’s family and friends, and a cadre of proud teammates: Tommy McNamara, Khiry Shelton, Mikey Lopez, Ethan White, and Jack Harrison.
