The Galaxy’s Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Carlos Vela of the Los Angeles Football Club were both named Sunday to the MLS Best XI, the league’s postseason all-star team.
Both made their MLS debuts in 2018, with Ibrahimovic leading the Western Conference with 22 goals and topping his team with 10 assists while Vela had a team-high 14 goals and 13 assists. Both players are also finalists for the league’s MVP award, which has yet to be announced.
“Carlos had a phenomenal season with our club and this award is a reflection of not just his world-class talent, but his dedication and hard work during the course of the year,” John Thorrington, LAFC’s vice president of soccer operations, said in a statement.
