Spanish star Villa leaving NYCFC

David Villa, one of the biggest stars in Major League Soccer, is leaving New York City FC. The Spanish star and World Cup winner spent four seasons with the club as its first captain. He plans to continue playing, but has not said where. Villa departs after scoring 80 goals in 124 MLS appearances for NYCFC. He scored from the start of his MLS career, getting NYCFC’s first Yankee Stadium goal in a home-opening win versus New England before going on to score 18 in his debut season. In his final year at NYCFC, Villa dealt with injuries yet led the team in goals with 15 in 23 starts.
