Not many teams can overcome the loss of their star player, but the LA Galaxy have the depth to compensate for Riqui Puig's torn ACL and win MLS Cup.

MLS Cup is a chance for a team's stars to shine at their brightest but when the LA Galaxy host the New York Red Bulls in MLS' biggest match on Saturday, they'll be without their biggest star in the middle in Riqui Puig.

LA Galaxy midfielder Riqui Puig will miss Saturday's MLS Cup final after he tore the ACL in his left knee in the Western Conference final. Puig sustained the injury early during the second half of Saturday's 1-0 victory over the Seattle Sounders.

For the Red Bulls, they haven't even appeared in MLS Cup since 2008 and will have a chance to win it for the first time. It's quite a contrast to the sleeping giants in the Galaxy who have already won a league-record five MLS Cups but have also not appeared in one since 2014. Let's take a look at what to know ahead of this clash:

The No. 7 New York Red Bulls earned their spot first, becoming the lowest seed to appear in the final. The Red Bulls stunned the No. 2 Columbus Crew, the reigning cup champions, with a 2-0 first-round series sweep. They went on to eliminate No. 6 NYCFC and No. 4 Orlando City in single-elimination games.

Dejan Joveljic scored his fifth goal of the playoffs in the 86th minute and the LA Galaxy advanced to the MLS Cup final for the first time since 2014 with a 1-0 victory over the Seattle Sounders in the Western Conference final.

The Galaxy are definitely going to have a different look and feel without Riqui Puig available to play in the MLS Cup final against the New York Red Bulls.
