LEVEL UP: FERMIN LOPEZ💫

This past week, #FerminLopez scored a hat-trick in Champions League, and followed it up with a goal in #ElClasico.

After making the midfield his own in #Barcelona, is he a potential difference maker in Spain's bid for a second men's World Cup in 2026?

D.C. United has done it! They've secured the Wooden Spoon as the worst team in MLS in 2025!

This is a trophy secured by a club culture set from the top down.

With the entire scouting department let go by a new Managing Director, we may be witnessing a true dynasty forming in D.C.
