I would start this column with Riqui Puig, but after the horrible news that he tore his ACL in the Western Conference Final, LA Galaxy’s No. 10 unfortunately won't play his part in MLS Cup 2024 presented by Audi.

Here are the stars who could decide the championship on Saturday afternoon at Dignity Health Sports Park (4 pm ET | Apple TV - Free; FOX, FOX Deportes; TSN, RDS).
