Moralez’s first stint at NYCFC spanned 2017-22, only for him to depart for boyhood side Racing Club. The club legend had 26g/69a in 162 matches, establishing a reputation as one of the best No. 10s in MLS history.

“Without a doubt, it is something special because after eight months out it has been difficult,” Moralez said. “But with the help of my family, the incredible work of the team with the doctor, our medical staff, and my teammates, they have helped me a lot. Today, fortunately, I was able to return and I helped the team win.”
The key takeaway? Class is permanent.
“Phenomenal for the team,” Martínez said. “I believe that tonight was great, the return of Maxi was very important for us to take advantage of. Once he is back, he is going to contribute a lot for us.”
