In 2020, Chicharito was an on-field disappointment for a reeling LA Galaxy side. In 2021, he showed he still had it as the team took tentative steps forward. And in 2022, he had his best season to date as the Galaxy finally returned to the playoffs.
In year two of the Greg Vanney era in LA, I think expectations were raised coming in, naturally so, and while they hit a wobble in the middle of the season, Chicharito was consistent throughout in terms of scoring to keep things afloat and really take off down the homestretch, when the Galaxy were the hottest team in MLS going into the playoffs.
