Thiago Almada becomes first MLS player to win the World Cup

Angel Correa and Thiago Almada were called up at the last minute for the World Cup in Qatar as replacements for the injured Nico Gonzalez and Joaquin Correa. This decision helped them to become World Cup winners.

Moreover, Almada also made Major League Soccer history. The international becomes the first MLS player to win the World Cup.

Likewise, the player already held other records in the country as he became the most expensive signing in the competition when Atlanta United paid 16 million euros to his home club Velez Sarsfield.

Atlanta United celebrated the success of their footballer through social media: "He lit up our stadium all year. Time we returned the favor," they wrote.
