David Villa has been named New York City FC’s Most Valuable Player for 2016.
Retaining the title he won last year, the captain has enjoyed an even better second season in MLS, scoring 23 Regular Season goals to fire his team to the Playoffs for the first time.
El Guaje also completed four assists in 2016, meaning he contributed directly to a goal every 81 minutes he’s been on the field this year.
David paid tribute to his teammates after learning of this latest award.
Villa told NYCFC.com: I’m very happy and pleased to have won this award again as I did last year.
