2021 has been an amazing year for Carles Gil, so it is not surprising that he is bringing a trophy home after the conclusion of the regular season.
Still, the fact that Carles Gil was named MLS’ 2021 Comeback Player of the Year is a bit surprising.
The numbers speak for themselves, Gil was the driving force behind the New England Revolution this season. With four goals and 18 assists, the midfielder was unstoppable for almost the entirety of the 2021 season.
The only thing that stopped Gil was his body. Seth Macomber was the first to report that Gil would miss more than three weeks with a sports hernia.
