The good news is becoming clearer for the Los Angeles FC. Not necessarily on the grounds since the Angelinos lost the Californian derby on Sunday against San Diego. Led 3-0 after 40 minutes of play, Hugo Lloris' teammates, author of a big dumpling, and Olivier Giroud returned to 3-2 before the break but the exclusion of Igor Jesus shortly after the break made their efforts vain.
However, the Los Angeles franchise could quickly find a smile. FIFA said this Sunday that the Californian team should play a dam on a dry match against Club America, the winner being drafted to replace Leon, recently excluded from the Club World Cup for having violated the club's multi-ownership regulations.
Reunion in sight for Olivier Giroud?
The Los Angeles FC should be drafted as unhappy finalist in the Champions League Concacaf in 2023 against Leon while the club America is the “best classified” team of the Confederation. “The winner of the play-off would qualify unless a legal procedure decides otherwise”said a spokesperson for FIFA.
In the event of a victory against Club America, Los Angeles FC of Olivier Giroud and Hugo Lloris would find themselves in group D alongside Tunis, Flamengo and Chelsea, which would give rise to large reunions between the former striker of the French team and the blues, where he evolved for three seasons.
