The Story in Brief
D.C. United travel to Montreal on Saturday night aiming for a sixth match without defeat. Forward Tai Baribo has scored in four consecutive games and leads the team with 11 MLS goals this season. Head coach Rene Weiler praised the Israeli's composure in the box. Montreal, winless since May 9, have signed former Arsenal and Barcelona winger Alexis Sanchez through 2027. The German Prince Owusu leads Montreal with 10 goals. D.C. United have points in 10 of their last 11 matches but have not won away since May. The sides drew 4-4 in their previous meeting on May 23.
The Indian Opinion
The Indian football fan has seen this script before: a big-name signing hyped as a saviour. Alexis Sanchez arrives at Montreal with a glittering CV but little recent form. Meanwhile, D.C. United's Tai Baribo quietly leads the line with four scoring matches in a row. The test will be whether Sanchez's presence actually translates to wins for a Montreal side that has won only two of nine home games, or if Baribo's hunger proves more valuable than reputation.
