The New York Red Bulls are used to a challenge. Although the playoffs have rarely been kind to them, when it comes to regular season match-ups against the best in Major League Soccer, they have tended to come out on top. Just ask local rivals New York City FC.
You can also ask Atlanta United, who have never beaten the Red Bulls in their two-year existence. The Red Bulls have a way of beating the best teams.
And on Sunday, they open their Eastern Conference Championship against the best team in MLS across the past two seasons, the very team that they boast an aggregate score of 7-2 over.
