Former Barcelona midfielder Riqui Puig breaking records with LA Galaxy

Former Barcelona midfielder Riqui Puig is proving himself a star with LA Galaxy.

The playmaker left Barca for Galaxy over the summer.

Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Steven Gerrard, Pirlo, Chicharito, Thierry Henry, David Villa and Beckham are some of the names who have played in MLS over the yeas.

All of them, bar Beckham, had not managed to provide six assists in five games, which RIqui Puig has done.

Three came in the 4-1 win over Colorado this weekend, equalling what Landon Donovan did in 2014 and Beckham did in 2008.
