Puig’s Impact on LA Galaxy
When Riqui Puig came over from FC Barcelona to LA Galaxy in 2022 it turned out to be a real smart move. The Spanish midfielder became like super important in the team’s midfield showing off how quick he is and how good he is at making plays. He got an amazing 36 goals and assists with 17 goals and 19 assists which shows how good he was for LA Galaxy’s attack. But then he got real unlucky and tore his ACL in the Conference final against Seattle Sounders which meant he couldn’t play in the MLS Cup final vs NY Red Bulls.

Transition from FC Barcelona
Since he joined LA Galaxy Puig has been doing awesome in Major League Soccer. He moved here to get more time playing and show what he could do in a new place. He fit in so good in LA Galaxy’s midfield and helped the team win a lot. How Puig went from playing in La Liga to MLS shows how good he is at fitting in anywhere and it makes MLS look better to people around the world.
Looking Ahead to the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup
With the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup coming up LA Galaxy’s gonna really miss having Puig cause of his injury. The tournament which is gonna have 32 teams for the first time and be in the United States is gonna be tough but also really exciting for MLS teams. Since Puig can’t play the team needs to figure out how to play without his playmaking skills. But maybe he’ll be back by then which would be great for when they play against teams from other countries. Everyone’s gonna be watching to see how Puig gets better as we get closer to the Club World Cup.
