Gareth Bale, couldn't have known the history that was going to be made for the MLS Cup final on November 5, 2022 between LAFC and Philadelphia Union. The amount of storylines at play entering, during, and after the match is the stuff of a Hollywood script. The game featured the two best teams in MLS that year - #1 Team in the West, LAFC, versus the #1 team in the East, Philadelphia. Many players, Gareth Bale included, were anticipating the final as well as the 2022 FIFA World Cup, a few weeks later. The stakes couldn't have been higher... And yet, the moments that occurred that day will go down in MLS lore as arguably the greatest game in league history.
Hear what is was like from the players on the pitch, Carlos Vela, Denis Bouanga, Gareth Bale, Andre Blake. The coaches on the sideline, Steve Cherundolo, Jim Curtin, Marc Dos Santos. Those in the stands, Will Ferrell, Colin Hanks, LAFC Supporters, and more celebrities that you can name. Re-live the joy and heartbreak of MLS Cup 2022.
