Galaxy Strikes Gold, Taking Home MLS Cup After Decade-Long Drought
Los Angeles is celebrating after the Galaxy boldly claimed their sixth MLS Cup title, ending a 10-year championship drought. The California team secured the 2-1 victory over the York Red Bulls with goals from Joseph Paintsil in the 9th minute and Dejan Joveljić in the 13th minute of the first half, solidifying their place as the franchise with the most MLS Cup wins in history.
Celebration Stirring Up Some MLS Rivalry
The celebratory atmosphere reached a peak during the post-game ceremony. Several Galaxy players adopted a unique celebration style reminiscent of Portuguese star Cristiano Ronaldo. This gesture, many believe, was a playful jab directed at Argentine legend Lionel Messi, who plays for Inter Miami CF.
Inter Miami CF’s Shortfall Ending in Unexpected Twist
Inter Miami CF had a season filled with highlights, ultimately clinching the top spot in the regular season. This accomplishment secured them an invitation to the 2025 Club World Cup. However, their playoff journey was cut short after a shocking first-round loss to Atlanta United, a team that had finished ninth in the Eastern Conference and earned a playoff berth.

Despite the early playoff exit, Inter Miami CF will still be present on the global stage. FIFA recently revealed the schedule for the 2025 Club World Cup Group Stage. Uniquely, Inter Miami CF’s opening match against Al Ahly of Egypt is now set for June 14th, a day earlier than initially announced.
