Ghana and Columbus Crew defender Jonathan Mensah has disclosed the difficulty in dealing with the coronavirus pandemic since it's outbreak earlier this year.
Prior to the 2020 MLS Cup final, the club had to do it without two of their top performers, Darlington Nagbe (son of former Liberia international Joe Nagbe) and Pedro Santos after they both tested positive for coronavirus.
The 2020 MLS season originally kicked off on 29 February but was suspended in March due to the global pandemic.
In order to try and restrict the spread of the disease the MLS teams were confined to life inside a bubble at Walt Disney World in Orlando Florida - effectively quarantined in their hotels when they are not playing or training.
"It's a year like no other, not just our team but everyone in the world actually because we are still in the middle of a global pandemic," Mensah told BBC Sport Africa.
"But we still go out there and do our job, make people happy. For us to be rewarded like this, it's an amazing feeling."
