The New York Red Bulls totalled more regular season points than any MLS team ever. They won the Supporters’ Shield, again, and had the most complete team in the league.
And yet, it doesn’t really feel like that. Because they fell to Atlanta United in such limp fashion in the playoffs, failing to win MLS Cup as winners of the East for the fifth time in the past nine years, it is easy to overlook the rest of their achievements.
Ultimately, the Red Bulls fell short due to a lack of cutting edge in the final third.
