Back in May, Columbus Crew manager Caleb Porter referred to Los Angeles FC as the Manchester City of Major League Soccer. At that time, the club were starting off on their way to a Supporters’ Shield triumph and were the high-powered team, dishing out goals left and right and dismantling opponents with absolute ease.
It was justified, then, that they be compared to Manchester City, based on their high-flying playing style and dominance. Of course, the Premier League giants are the much superior side when it comes to talent, but this comparison is still a fair one.
