Riqui Puig celebrates like Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo after scoring goal for Los Angeles Football club
The graduate of La Masia Riqui Puig was seen performing a Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo celebration. The LA Galaxy player scored to give a two-goal advantage to his side. LA Galaxy defeated Los Angeles FC 2-0 in the US Open Cup.
The 23-year-old scored a spectacular goal to take the side to the round of 16. The Spanish midfielder then performed the iconic celebration of Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo in Camp Nou and Santiago Bernabeu.
Lionel Messi is remembered for scoring the winner in the nail-biting fixture. The former Barcelona forward scored the late winner in the Santiago Bernabeu to seal the victory. Lionel Messi then made sure to raise his shirt before the entire Real Madrid stadium. A month later Al Nassr forward Cristiano Ronaldo scored a goal for Real Madrid. The Portuguese forward mocked Lionel Messi’s celebration by taking off his shirt before the Barcelona home crowd.
Riqui Puig was seen performing a similar celebration today after scoring his brilliant goal. Although the goal was brilliant, the celebration was too early, making Chiellini call him a clown. The goal got huge applause sealing the spot of LA Galaxy in the quarter-finals.
