A former Barcelona wonderkid has provided a reminder of his talents after rolling back the years with a sumptuous assist for the LA Galaxy.
The signing of Riqui Puig - who was once tipped for a bright future at Camp Nou - represented a major coup for MLS last summer, with the diminutive attacking midfielder having been released by his boyhood side to complete the move. The Catalonian giants were needing to shift several players on due to a bloated wage bill, meaning he was deemed surplus to requirements and allowed to leave for nothing.
Having been a bit part player under various managers at Barcelona, the move to MLS has allowed him to feature more regularly, with the technically gifted star having appeared ten times last term following a summer move. The 23-year-old scored three times as the team made the MLS Cup playoffs.
