May had just begun, and after having scored in the first four games of the season, the drought started. A nearly scoreless month, followed by another, until the end of July came around. Time to get back on the scoresheet. After almost ten games without scoring, a 5-0 win over Orlando City would give the NYCFC forward a chance to get back in the conversation. And he did. Goals after goals continued into the fall, and now he was suddenly face-to-face with a golden opportunity. He’d started the year with a bang, and chose to end if the same way. Six goals in his last four regular season games, allowed him to finish with 19 goals for NYCFC, the most he’s ever scored for the club. Today, he is the 2021 MLS Golden Boot winner. What a journey, Taty Castellanos. 📸: @leonelpillcorema #valentincastellanos #tatycastellanos #nycfcsoccer #nysoccer #nycfc #mlsplayoffs #majorleaguesoccer #mls #nycsoccer #clubelevenmag
