The 2023 Major League Soccer season gets underway at the end of February, and excitement for the new campaign is already palpable. Last season saw Los Angeles FC build a squad full of superstars such as Gareth Bale and Giorgio Chiellini, and that was enough to catapult the California-based outfit to a maiden MLS Cup victory. However, it didn’t come easy.
Despite topping the regular season table for the second time in the franchise’s short history, they were just seconds away from losing the showpiece fixture against the Philadelphia Union, on home turf nonetheless. The game was perhaps the greatest MLS Cup final ever played and has left fans salivating at the prospect of the new season.
