Columbus wins MLS CupDefeats LAFC 2-1Celebrate in locker room with Champagne and beerWHAT HAPPENED?
Pouring cans of beer into the 2023 MLS Cup, Columbus Crew players chugged away to celebrate their iconic and historic victory over LAFC. While some opted for the canned beverage, others popped and sprayed bottles of champagne while wearing goggles with plastic tarp on the walls. The postgame celebrations started nearly an hour after the whistle – but who knows how long until they'll end!

The Crew were dominant in their performance, with a first half performance for the ages. LAFC came alive with 20 minutes to spare, finding a goal of their own, but it was too little too late. Striker Cucho Hernandez was named 2023 MLS Cup MVP on the field postgame, while forward Christian Ramirez brought out his 12-day old child to celebrate with he and his family.
It was a remarkable performance, especially considering it was their second in four years – just six years after the Save The Crew movement.

Wilfried Nancy and co. will go about celebrating their title win until sunrise, although one might suspect the rather quiet and timid boss will watch from the sideline. Next week, however, starts preparation for the 2024 MLS season with the MLS Superdraft just 10 days away as well.
