How Did LA Galaxy Perform in 2023?
The LA Galaxy’s 2023 season was one of missed opportunities and inconsistency, resulting in a disappointing finish outside the playoff spots (13th in Western Conference). With a record of 8-14-12, the team struggled to find a rhythm, hampered by a leaky defense that conceded 67 goals over the season. While the midfield creativity of Riqui Puig and the goal-scoring prowess of Chicharito provided flashes of brilliance, injuries and depth issues left the Galaxy vulnerable, particularly in critical matches.
Heading into 2024, the Galaxy aimed to rebuild and address their defensive shortcomings, hoping to return to their former glory as playoff contenders. As of the Leagues Cup break in August, the team has shown signs of improvement, sitting mid-table in the Western Conference with a mix of promising performances and ongoing challenges.

Notable Player to Watch
LA Galaxy has long been a club that attracts some of the best footballers in the industry, and the 2024 season is no exception. A few of the well-known players on LA’s team include:
1. Riqui Puig (Midfielder): Known for his unique on-field vision and exceptional passing prowess, Puig is often the engine behind the Galaxy’s offensive strategy.
2. Javier “Chicharito” Hernández (Forward): Veteran forward and goal-scoring machine, Javier “Chicharito” Hernández has done wonders for the team’s strategy, much in part due to his ability to connect with the goal even in the most difficult of scenarios.
3. Gastón Brugman (Defensive Midfielder): As a defensive midfielder, Brugman may not score all the goals, but his strategic vision and ability to win the ball and transition it quickly and cleanly up the field is a core aspect of this team’s gameplay.
4. Tyler Boyd (Winger): This guy can run, that’s for sure. Boyd’s presence on the wing is often the first beginning of something great, with his ability to beat defenders one-on-one and position the ball in the box crucial to the Galaxy’s goal-scoring strategy.
