Cosmos look to new era after sending Raul, Marcos Senna off with title

The former Spanish internationals have been key to the club's success, but the team is set to begin a new era, writes Ryan Tolmich.

Following the final whistle in the title game, the Cosmos now approach that new era with a trophy in hand and the title of “champions” once again etched in the club’s history.
