On Sunday, this year's final will be played in MLS, when Columbus Crew will face Gustav Svensson's Seattle Sounders.

The league, like so many others, has been affected by the corona pandemic.

But unlike, for example, the Allsvenskan, where the infected players were very few, MLS has had a lot of cases, the players' union's CEO Bob Foose revealed at a press conference on Thursday.

- It has without a doubt been the most difficult season in MLS history, he said according to ESPN, and later told how common positive tests have been:

- Almost 20 percent of the players in the league have, at one time or another, been infected with the virus.

As a result, those who have become infected and those who have not been infected have become dangerous to their partners, their families and their friends just doing their job.

"Would affect us"

League boss Don Garber admits it has been a challenging season.

- The impact of the pandemic is probably greater than we had expected.

It is worrying for us, but our owners have understood that it would affect us from the beginning.

We are worried about what it will be like in 2021 and are looking at how we will make it through it.

But I hope that 2021 will be slightly better than 2020, because I do not think that our business would cope with the same impact that we have had in 2020, he says.
