As Atlanta United enters the final matchweek of the regular season, and with the club’s first trophy on the line, there’s a feeling in the locker room that every match left is one of the most important in club history. And that showed in the mentality this weekend against the Chicago Fire.
“It was huge,” said goalkeeper Brad Guzan after the match. “We said before this game, ‘Whatever it takes.’ Today was the final. We had to win. You assume Red Bulls are going to win, and you need to put yourself in a position to win the trophy.
