With inertia!
Unlike the Galaxy, the New York Galaxy have already been active this year as they are playing in the CONCACAF Champions League, where they reached the quarterfinals, which could be a factor in today's match.
Galaxy Reinforcements
The most winning club in MLS made some signings after the failure of the last tournament where they were left out of the playoffs. The incorporation of former Juventus and Bayern Munich winger Douglas Costa stands out.
The arrival
The return of MLS this year is already a reality and both the Angelenos and the New Yorkers have already arrived at the Galaxy FC stadium for today's match. In the picture, Javier Hernandez.

Last result!
The last game between both teams was last season when New York defeated two goals to nil with goals from Maxi Moralez and Héber. On this occasion, the current champion jumps as the favorite but a possible victory for the Galaxy would not be a surprise.
Douglas Costa, a must see player!
The new Galaxy midfielder arrives as one of the great reinforcements of the MLS and hopes to add his great experience in the League. The Brazilian arrives to be one of the offensive generators and is expected to show his imbalance and great speed to be a benchmark for the team. Douglas Costa arrives on loan from the Brazilian Guild and it is expected that, along with Chicarito, they will be the new great duo of the MLS. The Brazilian midfielder is not a player with many goals, but he is a great assister and that is what is expected of him this season, that he be an important unbalancer and put half a goal on his teammates, without a doubt, it will be nice to see him in court.
How does the Galaxy get here?
The Los Angeles team will start a new season, after staying out of the MLS playoffs due to goal difference with Real Salte Lake. The Galaxy arrives at this new season with the goal of getting into the postseason, for this, the team was reinforced with Douglas Costa. The Brazilian arrives to team up with Chicharito Hernández up front and be the ones to guide the Angelenos offensively. Those led by Greg Vanney hope to have a season where injuries forgive them and allow them to have a full squad for as long as possible.
Valentín Castellanos, a must see player!
The Cytyzens striker is starting a new season where he will seek to once again be the team's top benchmark. Last season, the Argentine was a key player with 19 goals to put his team through to the MLS final. The combination that he can have with Max Moralez and Telles Magno will be fundamental for the aspirations of New York City FC. During the December market there was a lot of talk about the striker and his future, however, the board ratified him as part of Ronny Deila's squad. The forward has a new season to come and we will see if he becomes that fundamental pillar for the team.
How does the NY City FC arrive?
The current champion will start his way in the 2022 season in Californian territory, the New Yorkers arrive after finalizing the MLS championship last season. The Cityzens did not enter the playoffs as favorites last season, but managed to beat big teams like the Philadelphia Union, New England, Atlanta and Portland. Those led by Ronny Deila appear without many changes and without renowned reinforcements, but they have kept a large part of the champion squad and they are expected to be a tough team and to reach the postseason where they will fight to endorse the championship.
Where's the game?
The Dignity Health Sports Park located in the city of Los Angeles will host this duel between two teams that seek to start the 2022 MLS season in the best way. This stadium has a capacity for 27,000 fans and was inaugurated in 2003.
