"Dear Los Angeles, You're Welcome," remember that?

Even before he'd kicked a ball for the Galaxy, Zlatan Ibrahimovic put his stamp on the city with a full-page advertisement on the LA Times, after he'd signed for the club.

The performances on the pitch, too, didn't take too long to follow.

With 22 goals and 10 assists in 27 appearances, Ibrahimovic put together one of the best MLS debut campaigns in recent memory. He was duly named 'Newcomer of the Year', an accolade that was fully justified.

This season, Ibrahimovic has only started off where he left off last season - with three goals in Galaxy's first two MLS Western Conference matches.

With Robbie Keane retired, Galaxy acquired the services of Ibrahimovic to fill a gaping hole in the goalscoring department, and the Swede has only embraced the challenge and gone on to score some absolutely spectacular, none more so than the one on his debut for the Galaxy against city rivals Los Angeles FC.
