The war of words between Zlatan Ibrahimovic and LeBron James shows no signs of abetting.
To bring you up to speed: the soccer superstar criticized his NBA counterpart and other celebrities for speaking and acting politically. Predictably LeBron dismissed criticism from Zlatan, prompting Ibrahimovic to double down on his stance.
On this week's episode of the "NESN Soccer Podcast," Marc DiBenedetto and Marcus Kwesi O'Mard unpack the Zlatan-LeBron feud. Next O'Mard and DiBenedetto preview Sunday's Barcelona election, which comes amid the club's financial crisis.
