Subs on in playoff loss Valeri took a shot and created two chances in Saturday's 1-1 (4-2 after penalties) MLS Cup Final defeat against NYCFC. He also made an interception in the match.

Impact There is speculation that this could be Valeri's final season in Portland, and what a storybook ending it could have been if he had come off the bench to lead his side to the MLS Cup. But Sean Johnson saved his penalty in the shootout and NYCFC won the trophy instead. The 35-year-old Valeri saw his playing time decrease significantly in 2021, tallying two goals and an assist in 32 appearances (10 starts) in this campaign.

Takes one shot in loss Valeri recorded a secondary assist and put one shot off target in 59 minutes of Friday's 4-1 loss to the LA Galaxy.

Impact Valeri has only started in three of the last five matches but he's recorded one goal and two secondary assists in that span. With Eryk Williamson almost back from the Gold Cup, there will be someone better to fill the gap when Valeri can't play. This is more due to his age as a player than his inability to produce, as Valeri still has 70 crosses from 15 games this season.

Plays after halftime in loss Valeri created one chance from four crosses (two accurate) and put one shot on target during the second half of Saturday's 2-1 loss to Minnesota United.

Impact Valeri had scored in the previous match against LAFC but was asked to come off the bench three days later. Given that the result was eventually lost with Valeri on the pitch, his efforts aren't able to fully sway results even if he's consistently prominent in the attack. With just eight starts in 14 appearances, it's important to be careful with Valeri as he goes in and out of the lineup.
