UP CLOSE with #zLAtan: Behind the scenes for Zlatan Ibrahimovic's MLS and LA GALAXY DEBUT

Zlatan Ibrahimovic debuted with MLS and the LA Galaxy on March 31, 2018, in the Galaxy's first derby hosting up-and-comers LAFC. With the Galaxy down 3-0 at one point, Zlatan entered the game to bring them level 3-3, and then to score a heart-stopping game-winner in stoppage time -- assisted by Ashley Cole! For MLSsoccer.com's social accounts, I headed to LA for the beginning of the #zLAtan bonanza, beginning with his arrival at the airport fewer than 48 hours before the match. Check out my vlog for a look at the moment he stepped into Los Angeles, his first training session with the LA Galaxy, and of course, plenty of up-close moments on the pitch before, during, and after that now-famous match! **NOTE -- TO SEE BOTH GOALS AND FULL HIGHLIGHTS go to    / mls   Check MLSsoccer.com and LAGalaxy.com, as well as @MLS and @LAGalaxy, for the latest Zlatan news, photos, videos, and updates.
