Zlatan Ibrahimovic scored a hattrick as LA Galaxy defeated LAFC 3-2 in a high-intensity Southern California derby in the Major League Soccer (MLS) on Saturday.
The 37-year-old had claimed before the match that he was better than “the whole league, not only Vela” and added that he was a Ferrari amidst a sea of Fiats in the MLS.
Vela had opened the scoring for LAFC in the fourth minute from the penalty spot, but Zlatan equalised four minutes later and put on a show as he completed his hattrick by the 70th-minute mark.
And after the final whistle of the derby, tempers flared as Zlatan and one of the LAFC coaches got into a verbal spat in the middle of the Dignity Health Sports Park.
Zlatan was seen in a video (clip above) telling a member of Bob Bradley’s backroom staff: “Go home, you little bi***!”.
Do you think Zlatan crossed a line here or was he just ‘being Zlatan’?
