'Tottenham legend' and'LAFC legend' shared a hot hug.
LA FC striker Son Heung-min (33) met Carlos Vela (38) ahead of the 2025 MLS home game against Real Salt Lake at BMO Stadium in LA at 10 a.m. on the 22nd (Korea time). LA FC shared a video of 'two icons' meeting on the club's SNS.
Los Angeles FC designated the game 'Carlos Bella Day'. It is intended to honor Bella's contribution to playing for LA FC from 2018 to 2024 and making a legendary career. Bella, who played for Arsenal and Real Sociedad, took off her soccer shoes in May.
Son Heung-min, who left Tottenham to join LA FC in August, could not miss an important event. Son Heung-min came to the stadium ahead of the game, hugged Bella, smiled brightly and chatted.

Son Heung-min, who once faced Bella in the 2018 FIFA World Cup Russia Korea-Mexico match, said in an interview with the club in August that `Honestly, I don't match Bella's level. I've played against him a few times, and he's a great player. What Bella has achieved for this team is legendary. I want to show that side of me."
Son Heung-min, who said he wanted to be considered a legend like Bella when he left LA a few years later, has scored five goals in six matches since his debut in the U.S. Major League, showing off his English Premier League-born skills.
On the 18th, he made his first career hat trick in MLS and ninth career hat trick in an away game for Real Salt Lake. In a game where Bella and Kim Hye-sung of the Los Angeles Dodgers are expected to see each other, they aim for their third consecutive goal and sixth goal.
