Zlatan Ibrahimovic poured in goals for LA Galaxy.
But now comes a most unexpected sawing of “Ibra”.
After Lionel Messi made such a big success in the USA.
Many believed that Zlatan Ibrahimovic moved to the US to wind down and finish his career when he signed for LA Galaxy in the MLS. But as he would silence all critics and perfectly pour in goals in North America.
Ibrahimovic in MLS
“Ibra” became MLS’s big poster name with his fantastic efforts on the pitch and his lovely personality on the sidelines in interviews. It was two years in Los Angeles and Zlatan scored a whopping 52 goals in 56 games for the LA Galaxy, an extremely impressive goal tally.

Meanwhile in MLS, there was also a lot of focus on the rivalry between the LA Galaxy and the city rival Los Angeles FC where Zlatan and the competitor Carlos Vela liked to lash out at the media in connection with the “El Trafico” derbies. Zlatan then moved on to Milan but Vela is still playing in the USA.

Now watching Zlatan
Last weekend, Vela met another big star who entered the MLS and took over all the spotlight. Namely a certain one Lionel Messi which has been a great success since the move to the jum company Inter Miami.

Vela therefore got the opportunity to compare both and then went hard on former rival Ibrahimovic with a clear sawing of the Swede.
– Zlatan could dominate but he won nothing at all. Messi has still won something in a much shorter time, but it can’t really be compared because they are two completely different players and in different situations, says the MLS star to the Spanish newspaper AS.

Messi led his Inter Miami to a title in his first month at the club by winning the League Cup in the United States. The match against Los Angeles FC was also won 3-1 after a double assist from the Argentinian superstar, who has caused the club to start climbing up the table.
– I would still have been surprised if Messi played badly. It doesn’t matter where in the world you play when you are the best player, no matter what league you go to, you will be fine. When you are the best, it doesn’t matter where you are. What had surprised me the most was if he didn’t score, it would have been a real surprise, admits Carlos Vela in the interview.
