This Saturday, November 5, the LAFC team became MLS champions for the first time in their history in a heartbreaking game in which six goals were scored and the decision was made on penalties. Singer Justin Bieber was one of the many stars in attendance at the Bank of California Stadium and could be seen celebrating Gareth Bale’s goal with a minute left in the game.
Various images and videos of Justin in the stadium cheering for the Los Angeles team have surfaced on social media. They even shared photos from the club’s Twitter account. However, it was the video of his reaction to Bale’s goal that went viral.
It was about 129 minutes into the second extra time after the referee decided to add nine compensation. With just one minute left in the match, Philadelphia Union dominated the game 3-2 when Palacios crossed the cross and Gareth Bale led the game to equalize and score a penalty.
Bieber’s reaction was full of emotion and he threw himself into the arms of one of the people next to him, who was wearing an LAFC jersey. The Canadian clenched his fist in obvious celebration, and two other people embraced him amid the looks and smiles of those around him.
The young singer was not the only famous one present. Before and during the match, the official LAFC Twitter account posted several photos of NBA legend Magic Johnson supporting the Los Angeles establishment.
Even the former basketball player tweeted as soon as the first part of the match ended. “Come on, LAFC. Up to 1:0 at the end of the half.”
It should be noted that Johnson is part of the property of the California group with actor Will Ferrell. In fact, his pro partner Owen Wilson was in several playoff games at the Banc of California.
The LAFC won the first title in their MLS history after a great campaign in the regular phase and playoffs.
