After an intense two legs against Atlanta United in the Concacaf Champions League quarterfinals earlier this season, the Philadelphia Union is a perfect guest for Sunday’s return to MLS action at Mercedes-Benz Stadium.
It will be the first meaningful fixture in three weeks for both clubs; additionally, Jim Curtin and Gabriel Heinze’s rivalry will resume in front of a full house in Atlanta, the largest crowd the Union will perform in front of since the 2019 MLS Cup playoff exit at the same venue.
Needless to say, Curtin and his group are raring to go.
