The LA Galaxy need a Riqui Puig replacement next season. Is Gio Reyna a realistic solution?
When the LA Galaxy takes the field on Saturday against the New York Red Bulls in the MLS Cup final, they'll do it without their star midfielder Riqui Puig. Puig, who joined the LA Galaxy in 2022 on a free transfer from FC Barcelona, suffered a torn ACL in the Galaxy's semifinal win over the Seattle Sounders on Nov. 30. He played the final 30 minutes of the match with a torn ACL and remarkably assisted Dejan Joveljić's game-winning goal.
From a positional standpoint, he's not Riqui Puig, but he's actually got some Puig-ish types of qualities. For a couple of years now, even when the Galaxy was struggling, it was obvious Riqui Puig was a quality player, and this season, he finally had some quality around him, and he ran the show in a kind of throwback way.
