For Almada, Saturday’s result would be a fitting way to cap his two-year stay in Atlanta.
“Scoring a goal at home and with a win is a happy ending,” said the club-record signing, who has 23g/33a in 77 appearances since his arrival from boyhood club Vélez Sarsfield ahead of the 2022 season. “Though the one thing that I didn’t do was win a title here, but I think that I tried to do my best and give everything for the club.”
Almada, who won 2022 MLS Newcomer of the Year honors while earning All-Star and Best XI selections the following season, refused to speculate about where his immediate future lies.
“I can’t say anything before the club does. I’m waiting for the club to make it official out of respect,” he said before reminiscing on the bonds he formed in Atlanta.
“The fans, my teammates, the people who work at the club, the chefs. They’ll have a big piece of my heart,” he said. “I’m going to remember the club as one of the biggest in the MLS. I think since I arrived, they’ve supported me and my family a lot.”
