Riqui Puig Surpasses Messi in MLS Value

In a significant development in Major League Soccer (MLS), Riqui Puig of the LA Galaxy has emerged as one of the most valuable players in the league, surpassing the legendary Lionel Messi. Despite Messi's consistent performance, including 20 goals and 10 assists in 19 games this season, his market value has dropped to $20 million.

Riqui Puig, on the other hand, has had an exceptional campaign, helping the LA Galaxy secure the MLS Cup, although he was sidelined in the final due to a cruciate ligament injury. Puig's impressive performances, with 13 goals and 10 assists in 29 games, have been instrumental in the team's success. As a result, he has climbed to the top of the rankings in terms of market value, overtaking Messi.

This shift in valuation highlights the impact Puig has had on the league and his team, despite the challenges he faced, including his injury.
