The spotlight can’t burn any brighter than on your own day as proclaimed by the biggest city in the world.

May 19, 2018 was a wet one – but the driving rain couldn’t put out the fire of the Boys in Blue on the special day honoring their captain, David Villa.

The pre-match festivities would be just the start of a big day from DV7.

After receiving special gifts from the City of New York, the Club, and the Third Rail, the 37-year old known as “El Guaje” marked the occasion beautifully, scoring book-end goals, one on either end of the pitch, all on the way to another big home win in the Bronx.
