Scored two goals tonight. This was the first match I've seen him scolding his teammates excessively which is a worrisome trend. He needs to realize they weren't raised in Masia, nor tiki takad with Messi. Vaney needs to tell him to chill with the attitude.

I watched the whole match and the highlights below only show one of his milder tantrums. He said in his post-match presser he does argue with his teammates now but that no harm no foul which isn't true. Not only is it immature eventually his teammates won't perform as well if he's throwing tantrums at them often.

Side note Cerrillo's better than Casado now no exaggeration. His passing and press resistance is Busi-lite, super impressive. He's already their most important player besides Puig and Pec.

I really hope Puig wakes up because I won't want him back at Barca if he continues like this. I don't care he's the best 10 itw. He also needs to drop the gay celebrations.

Two assists last night, first one leading a Yamal-esque dribble and goal by Pec, second one after fast dribble and dime pass to Joveljic who did a Benzema-esque slightly off balance quick three touch goal. Cerrillo didn't start but Brugman did some excellent passing as usual. Highlights don't show the more impressive long possession golden Barca-esque tiki taka while Austin did max pressing. During one such sequence Pec and Puig did a come-get-us-if-you-can multiple short static pass back and forth which Messi and Iniesta used to do. Oles from the crowd.

Paintsil had good chances to score but couldn't convert.

So weird despite good results from Flickball Galaxy's still more entertaining to watch, and by good margin.

Really hope Galaxy and Miami make it to the finals.

League play Puig 1 g/a 111 min, panda 1 g/a 196 min

Galaxy should've tied vs Houston and won western conference but Paintsil's goal was chalked off incorrectly from a non-foul during build up. Puig won a pen Pec converted but wasn't enough.

Cerrillo with a 95.5% pass rate this season, phenomenal. Galaxy's front four the first in MLS history to all be double digit goals. With squad improvement Galaxy increased their league points by 28 from previous season, only bettered by Miami.

First playoff match against Colorado about to start, vamos.

Total domination tonight winning 5-0, 68% possession, 743 passes, 91% pass rate against a team with the highest xG this season. Puig and Jovelic both with 2g/1a. Galaxy in control all match, press resistant, some nice tiki taka, always composed, no anxiety like watching clasico today. Played a lot of 3-2-5 a la City without any of the boring going nowhere passing of the latter.

Format best of three's overkill in playoffs, but almost guarantees better team moves on. Will be epic if Miami and Galaxy make it to the end.

Galaxy stayed in third gear tonight and still won 4-1 (9-1 aggregate). Goals by killer Ps: Puig 2 one keeper nutmeg second smart full sprint box to box round keeper, Pec 1 Benzema-esque keeper block, Paintsil 1 box curler.

Reus being used as luxury sub in playoffs so far. Ridiculous they have three players could start for Barca: Puig, Pec, Cerrillo.

Commentator calls Puig "Barca keeper" on his last goal. Flick would love Puig since he's really good at Bayernball, actually wish he'd stick to more dna play but the current combo's still nice.
