Los Angeles Galaxy midfielder Riqui Puig has suffered a season ending torn ACL and will miss the MLS Cup 2024, the team announced Sunday.
The Spanish playmaker tore his anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee during the second half of the Western Conference Final vs. the Seattle Sounders FC. Puig recorded a game-winning assist in the 85th minute to send the Galaxy to the MLS Cup, where they will face the New York Red Bulls.The 2024 MLS All-Star put up 17 goals, 20 assists in 36 matches played this season. Puig tallied four goals and four assists in the Audi MLS Cup Playoffs.
"We proved tonight we can play defense for long stretches and still beat you 1-0," said Vanney of the team's surprising outcome after setting the MLS Cup Playoffs record for most goals through their first three games."I’m proud of these guys." As the Galaxy prepare for their next challenge, the city of Los Angeles is once again abuzz with championship anticipation.
For the second time in as many months, a decorated LA sports team will host a NY sports team with a championship on the line. The Dodgers defeated the Yankees in six games to win the 2024 World Series. Could the LA Galaxy do the same to the Red Bulls without their star midfielder?
