Pundit places LA Galaxy player as a candidate for MLS 2024 MVP

The 2024 MLS season has commenced, unveiling a revitalized LA Galaxy squad from the previous year. With three draws and one victory, the Galaxy remains undefeated, signaling a promising start to their campaign.

In a recent YouTube video by MLS Moves, the platform delved into the standout performances and disappointments of the ongoing MLS season. Among the discussions on potential MVP candidates, Riqui Puig's name emerged as a top contender.

The pundit in the video expressed, "I want to get into the MVP race. The MVP race, I think it's down to two people. There's maybe a couple other people that you could make the argument for, but there's two players that have really stuck out to me this season. Number one is Ricky Pooj for the LA Galaxy. Pooj has been the most important piece for the Galaxy."

"Every single thing flows through him in the game. He has to have the most touches of any player in MLS. I have not looked it up, but just when I watch him, I feel like everything flows through him. He is always touching the ball."

As the linchpin of the team's strategy, Puig's influence is palpable, with his involvement in nearly every facet of the game. His ability to orchestrate play and maintain possession has made him a standout player in the league.

Throughout the MLS season, all eyes will be on Puig as he continues to showcase his talent and vie for the coveted MVP title. With his stellar performances thus far, Puig has firmly established himself as a force to be reckoned with in Major League Soccer.
