La galaxy far far away without riqui puig
LA Galaxy Midfielder Riqui Puig
LA Galaxy are in a whole different Galaxy Far Far away without Riqui Puig. Fortunately for LA Galaxy, they have a deep roster of star players.
Most recently, LA Galaxy Midfielder Riqui Puig was named to MLS Best Xl for 2024. It’s no surprise Riqui was named to the best XI, given that many argue he was a potential MVP of the league.
Riqui was also in the 2024 & 2023 MLS All star squad and appeared in multiple player of the week XI during the 2024 season.
Unfortunately for LA Galaxy fans and most importantly for Riqui, he will miss the 2024 MLS Cup Final. He was seen limping and crying post match versus Seattle in the Western Conference Finals. Instantly media outlets reported the star player was injured and would miss MLS Cup.
At a later time, LA Galaxy released a Press Conference Stating Riqui had torn his ACL in the Western Conference Final versus Seattle Sounders FC. Riqui appeared to have played over 30 minutes with his injury and even contributing to the game winning Goal.
The LA Galaxy star was one game away from making history with LA Galaxy. In my opinion the LA Galaxy would not be in this MLS Cup Final without Riqui Puig.
