When you claim you’re “like a Ferrari” in a league full of “Fiats” you’d better back it up.
Well yet again, Zlatan Ibrahimovic has proved he’s as good as his word.
Earlier in the week, the 37-year-old LA Galaxy striker was asked whether he was still the best player in the MLS, given Los Angeles FC forward Carlos Vela is the top scorer this season.
Answer: “By far. Because if he’s [Vela] in his prime. How old is he? 29. And he’s playing in MLS and he’s in his prime. When I was 29 [I was in Europe]. Big difference.”Zing.
So on Friday night the two strikers featured on opposite sides of the Los Angeles derby – ‘El Trafico’ to locals – and you can probably guess what happened next.
