Luca de la Torre is lighting up La Liga! USMNT star bags goal and assist in massive Celta Vigo win over Osasuna

The American midfielder earned Man of the Match honors in the victory, which saw Celta Vigo climb three points clear of the relegation zone in La Liga. The 25-year-old had two heroic minutes on the pitch, assisting Jorgen Strand Larsen in the 24th minute and following it up with a goal of his own, just 60 seconds later.

The occasion marked his third goal in all competitions in 2024, with it being his first in La Liga, and the other two coming in the Copa del Rey. He has begun the calendar year with an impeccable string of form, and it's coming at the perfect time for both club and country. With Gregg Berhalter and the USMNT set to play a CONCACAF Nations League semifinal against Jamaica in March and Celta Vigo in a relegation battle, he could play a crucial role for both parties in the coming months.

The 2023-24 campaign is already his highest-scoring season ever as a footballer, with still four months left in the term.

They next take on Getafe in La Liga action on Sunday, February 11. They'll look to continue their climb out of the relegation zone while also making their way up the table with Rafa Benitez at the helm.
