Zlatan Ibrahimović took out a full-page ad in the Los Angeles Times when he arrived that read, simply, “Dear Los Angeles, You’re Welcome.” He gave the city a reason to thank him Saturday, coming on for the Galaxy and quickly scoring this stunning goal from afar.
The game was coming to an end, but Zlatan wasn’t finished yet. He scored once more, a header in stoppage time, to hand the L.A. Galaxy an improbable 4-3 win over LAFC. Check out his second goal below.
After the match, Ibrahimovic earned laughs when he said during a postgame press conference, “I gave them Zlatan.” See clips from the conference below.
