You’re welcome and goodbye Cheap Sweden Soccer Shirts , Los Angeles.Zlatan Ibrahimović and the LA Galaxy are officially parting ways after two eventful seasons, the 38-year-old Swedish superstar and the club announced Wednesday.“I came, I saw, I conquered,” Ibrahimović wrote on Twitter. “Thank you (at)LAGalaxy for making me feel alive again. To the Galaxy fans – you wanted Zlatan, I gave you Zlatan. You are welcome. The story continues…Now go back to watch baseball.”The Swedish superstar scored 56 goals in 52 MLS games after joining the Galaxy in March 2018, injecting his inimitable blend of talent and swagger into a stagnating club. This season, he scored a franchise-record 30 goals more than the rest of the Galaxy roster combined (28).A week before Zlatan debuted with a dramatic two-goal performance as a substitute in a win over crosstown rival Los Angeles FC, he announced his arrival in Hollywood by taking out a full-page ad in the Los Angeles Times reading simply: “Dear Los Angeles, You’re welcome.”“Since his arrival in 2018 www.thetopsoccer.com/switzerland , Zlatan has positively influenced the sport of soccer in Los Angeles,” Galaxy President Chris Klein said in a statement announcing the departure. “We are grateful for his work ethic and passion. We thank Zlatan for his professionalism and immeasurable impact on the Los Angeles community and the soccer community in North America as a whole.”Ibrahimović’s MLS jaunt was a mixed success, at least by his lofty standards. He was an elite, steady scorer for the five-time league champions and was likely the league’s top box-office draw on the road, and he kept the market in thrall with his bold pronouncements and rivalries with opponents and clubs, particularly LAFC in the Galaxy’s El Trafico rivalry series.But the Galaxy won just one playoff game in Zlatan’s tenure, and they finished eighth in the overall league table this season after missing the playoffs in his debut campaign. He lost the MLS MVP award this year to LAFC’s Carlos Vela, who scored a league-record 34 goals.Although Ibrahimović was their most important player for the past two seasons, the Galaxy didn’t expect Ibrahimović to end his career with them, and he does not appear to be close to retirement. Rumors of his departure have been heard for months Cheap Uruguay Soccer Jerseys , and Ibrahimović has never stayed at any club for more than four seasons in his peripatetic career.Ibrahimović has been linked recently to a return to AC Milan, where he played two seasons and scored 42 Serie A goals from 2010-12. Milan is currently mired in 14th in the standings in Italy’s top league while scoring just 11 goals in its 12 games.Ibrahimovic, Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo are the only active players in the world to score 500 career goals between their club teams and international play. Zlatan scored his 500th last season.A few weeks ago, Ibrahimović claimed that “if I don’t stay, nobody will remember what MLS is.”But the Galaxy already have a direction for their future, acquiring young star Cristian Pavón from Argentina to join Guillermo Barros Schelotto, his former coach at Boca Juniors. The free-spending club also should have money available from Ibrahimović’s departure to bolster their front line. BARCELONA, Spain (AP) — One year after publicly rejecting an offer to join Barcelona, France forward Antoine Griezmann put on his new blue-and-burgundy shirt and thanked the Spanish champions for giving him a second opportunity.Griezmann signed his five-year contract with Barcelona on Sunday to complete his move from rival Spanish club Atletico Madrid.After inking the deal, Griezmann told club president Josep Bartomeu “thanks for giving me another chance.”Griezmann had openly flirted with joining Barcelona last year in a “behind-the-scenes” documentary that followed him for weeks as he contemplated the pros and cons of staying at Atletico or making the jump to Lionel Messi’s club.The 45-minute “The Decision Cheap USA Soccer Jerseys ,” which was produced by a company owned by Barcelona defender Gerard Pique, concluded with Griezmann accepting a new contract with Atletico, which also promised to provide him with teammates who could finally help him win an elusive major title.But after another season finishing runner-up to Barcelona, Griezmann said it was now time to change his mind and make the leap to the five-time European champion.“This year is different,” Griezmann said at a news conference at Camp Nou on Sunday.Griezmann said that, other than being reluctant 13 months ago to uproot his family from Madrid, he also “wasn’t prepared to make that step and felt like I had something left to do at Atletico.“This is a new challenge, a chance for me to improve, to not be complacent, to fight for a spot in the starting 11 Cheap AC Milan Soccer Team Uniform , to be an important player for this club, and to win a Liga, a Copa del Rey, and a Champions League, which are missing from my trophy case,” he said.As for any Barcelona fans, or new teammates, who could still feel spurned by “The Decision,” Griezmann said that he was confident he could win them over.“I have done some bad things in my past,” he said. “(But) I have never repented. (The documentary) was something that I wanted to do and thought should be seen. I didn’t toy with either (club). The important thing is that we are now together. If I have to ask anyone for forgiveness www.thetopsoccer.com/club-team-kit/ajax , I will do so on the pitch, where I speak the best.”The 28-year-old Griezmann helped France to win the World Cup last year. In five seasons with Atletico, he scored 133 goals and won the Europa League, a Spanish Super Cup and a UEFA Super Cup. But there was also a lot of frustration at coming so close to even greater glory with a loss in a Champions League final and second-place finishes in the Spanish league.Now Griezmann will go from being the leader of Atletico’s attack to becoming effectively a sidekick to Messi, and strike partner to Luis Suárez.Griezmann had a contract with Atletico until 2023 with a buyout clause of 200 million euros ($224 million), but the clause automatically fell to 120 million euros ($134 million) on July 1.Barcelona announced it had paid 120 million to free Griezmann from his contract on Friday. Atletico, however, is demanding that Barcelona pay the full 200 million euros because they believe that the player had already negotiated the move to Barcelona before July 1.Bartomeu insisted Sunday that “there is nothing” to Atletico’s claim because he said Barcelona only contacted Griezmann’s agent after the player announced in May that he wanted to leave Atletico.
