The win gave Real Salt Lake the final playoff position. Prior to the 2021 season, many “MLS Experts” pegged Real Salt Lake to finish at the bottom of the western conference. The Real Salt Lake social media team kept those receipts and publicly shamed the so-called “MLS Experts” in a video that is sure to make you chuckle.

But that is not where it ends, even the Real Salt Lake Director of Communications Trey Fitz-Gerald was seen throwing shade towards former manager Freddy Juarez suggesting that he did not believe in this group of players.

PLENTY OF ROOM ON THIS BANDWAGON …

Nobody believed in us … including a certain SEA assistant maybe 🤔 #RSL

Ironically, Real Salt Lake will now travel to Seattle for a date with the Sounders. The date and time of kickoff are yet to be announced.

But finally, the celebration in the locker room and on the tarmac must be seen by all. Real Salt Lake was an entire vibe all of last night, and deserving of every second of joy experienced.
