<p>Latino people have always had a big influence in the United States and even though it took a while, they did the same in <a href="https://us.bolavip.com/mls-t16956" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>MLS</strong></a>. Major League Soccer has seen some big names that left their mark and paved the way for the new generations.</p>
<p>Right now we have a lot of good Latino players in MLS and that doesn’t seem to be stopping. Instead of being a league where old stars come to retire, the league turned into a great platform for young players to develop before making the jump to Europe.</p>
<p>Some Latinos have taken that path while others landed in MLS trying to revitalize their careers. Some had more success than others but now it’s time to see who are the <strong>best Latino players that have ever played in MLS</strong>.</p>

<p></p></div>
<p>Carlos Valderrama was a very good player in the league, instantly making an impact and enchanting everybody with his game. The Colombian playmaker displayed his good game every week, dishing 114 assists over his MLS career. Valderrama was one of those pioneers who bet on this league and it paid off for him.</p>
<h2>Jaime Moreno</h2>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image">   <figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" data-height="413" data-width="740" data-size="w:740,h:413" hspace="5" vspace="5" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20210101_BUS_167326_jaime_moreno.jpg_22993414_207ec1be.webp&amp;width=740&amp;height=413" width="740" height="413"></figure><figcaption>    Jaime Moreno. (Getty)   </figcaption></figure>
<p></p></div>
<p>Jaime Moreno landed in Washington DC to help DC United improve their level. The Bolivian striker was great for the capital team and to this day, he’s an idol for the team. He finished his MLS career ranking 4th all-time in MLS goals (133).</p>
<h2>Marco Etcheverry</h2>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image">   <figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" data-height="413" data-width="740" data-size="w:740,h:413" hspace="5" vspace="5" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20210101_BUS_167326_etcheverry.jpg_22993414_c5c6543a.webp&amp;width=740&amp;height=413" width="740" height="413"></figure><figcaption>    Marco Etcheverry. (Getty)   </figcaption></figure>
<p></p></div>
<p>Marco Etcheverry created a great duo with Jaime Moreno in Washington DC and their production was really impressive. The midfielder was the perfect partner for Moreno and his numbers are the biggest proof of that. He finished his MLS career ranking 7th all-time in assists (101).</p>
<h2>Cuauhtemoc Blanco</h2>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image">   <figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" data-height="413" data-width="740" data-size="w:740,h:413" hspace="5" vspace="5" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20210101_BUS_167326_cuau.jpg_22993414_38eed211.webp&amp;width=740&amp;height=413" width="740" height="413"></figure><figcaption>    Cuauhtémoc Blanco. (Getty)   </figcaption></figure>
<p></p></div>
<p><a href="https://us.bolavip.com/cuauhtemoc-blanco-t11235" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Cuauhtemoc Blanco</strong></a> was considered the first big Mexican name to actually thrive in the league; he joined Chicago Fire and made an instant impact on the team. The Mexican striker was really a good player that opened the doors for a lot of players that came after him.</p>
<h2>Guillermo Barros Schelotto</h2>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image">   <figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" data-height="413" data-width="740" data-size="w:740,h:413" hspace="5" vspace="5" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20210101_BUS_167326_barros_schelotto.jpg_22993414_85a02241.webp&amp;width=740&amp;height=413" width="740" height="413"></figure><figcaption>    Guillermo Barros Schelotto. (Getty)   </figcaption></figure>
<p></p></div>
<p>Guillermo Barros Schelotto landed in the States after being dismissed by Boca Juniors. The Argentine striker was great for Columbus Crew, leading them to their first MLS Cup championship in 2008, earning MVP honors during that season.</p>
<h2>Josef Martinez</h2>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image">   <figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" data-height="413" data-width="740" data-size="w:740,h:413" hspace="5" vspace="5" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20210101_BUS_167326_josef.jpg_22993414_7f326d89.webp&amp;width=740&amp;height=413" width="740" height="413"></figure><figcaption>    Josef Martinez. (Getty)   </figcaption></figure>
<p></p></div>
<p><a href="https://us.bolavip.com/josef-martinez-t152199" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Josef Martinez</strong></a> landed in Atlanta from Italy, where he played for Torino. The Venezuelan striker was a revelation for that Atlanta team coached by Gerardo Martino that took the league by storm. Martinez has been one of the most prolific strikers in league history and he’s not even done. Josef has scored 90 goals in 103 games.</p>
<h2>Carlos Vela</h2>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image">   <figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" data-height="413" data-width="740" data-size="w:740,h:413" hspace="5" vspace="5" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20210101_BUS_167326_carlos_vela.jpg_22993414_84b5ceef.webp&amp;width=740&amp;height=413" width="740" height="413"></figure><figcaption>    Carlos Vela. (Getty)   </figcaption></figure>
<p></p></div>
<p>One year after Martinez had his historical season, <a href="https://us.bolavip.com/carlos-vela-t47491" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Carlos Vela</strong></a> made an appearance, demonstrating he’s one of the best players in the league right away. Even though he’s yet to win a championship with LAFC, Vela has confirmed he’s one of the best players in the league right now.</p>

Best Latino players in MLS history

Best Latino players in MLS history - Bolavip US

<p><a href="https://us.bolavip.com/mls-t16956" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>MLS</strong></a> has shared a list of the <a href="https://www.mlssoccer.com/the-25-greatest-presented-by-att" target="_blank" rel="noopener">25 greatest players of all time</a> in celebration of their 25 years. The league has come a long way and is getting more and more respect season after season. They were once seen as an amateur league, then a tournament to go finish your career but now things are different.</p>
<p>Sure, some players go there to play thelast years of their career but right now the league is one where young players from other leagues can develop their game before making the jump to Europe or another league.</p>
<p>All the players that they listed made the league the big sensation they are right now but it feels like they missed some names that also helped them reach this current level. Some stars from the past and the present and missing, including one of their best players for the past three years.</p>

<h2>MLS incredibly snubs Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Carlos Vela and more from “The 25 Greatest” list</h2>
<p>Players like <strong>Carlos Valderrama</strong>, <strong>Clint Dempsey</strong>, <strong>Landon Donovan</strong>, <strong>David Beckham</strong> and more feature on the list, but it’s still curious not to see some stars that have been nothing but great for MLS.</p>
<p>Starting from one of the most famous players they had in recent seasons, <a href="https://us.bolavip.com/zlatan--ibrahimovic-t29087" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Zlatan Ibrahimovic</strong></a>, who set the league on fire as soon as he landed in Los Angeles to join the Galaxy. Ibra was a scoring machine for the Californian club.</p>
<p>Ibra scored 53 goals in 58 games with his team in two seasons, making headlines every season with his performances on the pitch or his declarations after every match. In his first year, he was named in the MLS All-Star and MLS Best XI and was awarded the MLS Newcomer of the Year Award and MLS Goal of the Year. He did a lot in only two seasons before returning to AC Milan in Europe.</p>
<div style="text-align:center">
<div class="ck-youtube" id="youtube-14">      <span class="item first"></span>   <span class="item second"></span>   <span class="item third"></span>  </div>
<p></p></div>
<p>Another name that comes to mind right now is <a href="https://us.bolavip.com/carlos-vela-t47491" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Carlos Vela</strong></a>, one player who had memorable duels with Ibrahimovic on the pitch. The Mexican star landed in Los Angeles to play with the younger team in the city, <a href="https://us.bolavip.com/los-angeles-fc-t72172" target="_blank" rel="noopener">LAFC</a>, in 2018.</p>
<p>Vela holds the record for the most goals scored in an MLS regular season with 34 in 2019, breaking the prior record of 31 that belonged to Josef Martinez. He’s yet to win a championship with his team but there is no doubt that Vela has already left his mark on the league.</p>
<div style="text-align:center">
<div class="ck-youtube" id="youtube-76">      <span class="item first"></span>   <span class="item second"></span>   <span class="item third"></span>  </div>
<p></p></div>
<p><a href="https://us.bolavip.com/cuauhtemoc-blanco-t11235" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Cuauhtémoc Blanco</a> doesn’t feature on the list, either, even though he was one of the best foreign players in the league back in the day. Contrary to what happens with other Mexicans, Blanco was a very good addition to Chicago Fire and the league. He scored 16 goals in 62 games, a decent number at the end of the 2000s.</p>
<p>It is curious that the league didn’t include Blanco on this list knowing that they remembered the former striker in October, calling him a legend and icon, recognizing his contribution to the league during his time in the Windy City.</p>
<p><span></span></p>
<div style="text-align:center">

<p></p></div>
<p>Another player that had a short but successful run in the league was Guillermo Barros Schelotto, who was Los Angeles Galaxy manager until the end of the 2020 regular season. Before that, he had a short but great stint with Columbus Crew.</p>
<p>The Boca Juniors icon signed with the Crew in 2007. In his first season with the team, he dished 11 assists, leading the team in that item. One year later, he went off, being chosen Player of the week four times, Player of the month once, and recording 19 assists and 7 goals during the regular season.</p>
<p>Barros Schelotto won the regular-season MVP award but that was only the beginning for him. He won the MLS Cup with Columbus, closing a great season with the team. The striker returned to Argentina in 2010 after having a great stint in the U.S.</p>

<p></p></div>
<p>We are in no position of telling the league who shouldn’t be on the list but it’d be interesting to know why they didn’t pick any of these players as one of the 25 greatest MLS players in history.</p>

<h2>10. Lucas Cavallini – Vancouver Whitecaps FC</h2>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image">  <figure class="image"><img alt="" data-height="333" data-size="w:711,h:395" data-width="600" hspace="5" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20200708_BUS_163293_lucas_cavallini_crop1594224072117.jpg_1030179834_41ea18f6.webp&amp;width=500&amp;height=310" title="" vspace="5"></figure><figcaption>   Cavallini is Vancouver’s Designated Player.

<p></p></div>
<p>Canadian star <strong>Lucas Cavallini </strong>won’t be attending the tournament this time. He cited personal health reasons for this decision, claiming he would love to join his teammates but that<strong> he’s currently grieving the loss of two family members.</strong></p>
<p>“<strong>This was an extremely difficult decision for me</strong>. I would love to be out on the field with my teammates fighting with everything I have to play for this club and community in Orlando,” Cavallini said on a statement. The Whitecaps will also be missing<strong> Andy Rose,Georges Mukumbilwa,Fredy Montero, and Tosaint Ricketts.</strong></p>
<h2>9.Jürgen Damm – Atlanta United</h2>
<div style="text-align:center">

<p></p></div>
<p>Atlanta United recently announced the signing of 27-year-old Mexican star<strong>Jürgen Damm</strong> after a breakout season with UANL Tigres. However, the winger will be joining the club shortly after the tournament.</p>
<p>Damm made it to the MLS as a free agent and there’s plenty of excitement in Georgia about the second-fastest player in the world. Sadly, their fans <strong>will have to wait a little longer before seeing him in red and black stripes.</strong></p>
<h2>8. Leandro González Pírez – Inter Miami CF</h2>
<div style="text-align:center">

<p></p></div>
<p><strong>Leandro González Pírez</strong> will finally make his MLS comeback with Inter Miami CF after a brief hiatus. However, the former champion with Atlanta United won’t be able to play in the tournament due to the league’s transfer policy.</p>
<p>The Argentinean defender spent the past six months with Mexican side Tijuana before deciding to take his talents back to the U.S. He’ll still travel and train with his team in Orlando <strong>despite not being eligible.</strong></p>

<p><strong>Ike Opara</strong> has made a name for being the best defender in Major League Soccer. He’s already a marquee player in the league and that’s why it’ll be such a bummer to see him sitting out for, at least, the group stage.</p>
<p><em>The Loons</em> will have a tough task filling in the gap Opara will leave at the center of their defense. The reigning<strong> Defender of the Year</strong> will continue his rehab with hopes of joining the team for the knockout stage.</p>

<p><strong>Felipe Gutiérrez</strong> played a major part in Sporting Kansas City’s plans to start the season. However, the talented Chilean midfielder has been sidelined for months now and won’t be able to suit up until early 2021.</p>
<p>The 29-year-old underwent knee surgery one month ago and is expected to <strong>miss 7-9 months, </strong>as per the team’s PR. The loss of their top goal-scorer will be quite difficult to overcome for them.</p>
<h2>5. Robbie Robinson – Inter Miami CF</h2>

<p>There were plenty of expectations around<strong> Robbie Robinson</strong> entering the tournament. However, he recently left the team’s party in Orlando to attend<strong> ‘personal situations’</strong> and won’t be coming back for the tournament.</p>
<p>“Something came up, we discussed it, and for personal reasons Robbie decided to leave the bubble. It made more sense for him to leave the bubble and sort it out,”<strong>sporting director Paul McDonough claimed.</strong></p>
<h2>4. Paul Arriola – DC United</h2>
<div style="text-align:center">

<p></p></div>
<p><strong>Paul Arriola</strong> has been DC United’s building block since joining the team in 2017. He’s the one who pulls the strings of their offense and that’s why it was such a major blow for them to lose him for such a long period of time.</p>
<p>The USMNT winger underwent surgery after suffering an ACL injury and is expected to miss <strong>around9 months</strong>.”The trainers shoot for nine months … but obviously I’m shooting to be back before that,” he told <a href="https://www.mlssoccer.com/post/2020/04/21/dc-united-usmnt-winger-paul-arriola-finds-positives-during-recovery-pandemic" target="_blank" rel="noopener">MLS.</a></p>

<p></p></div>
<p>There’s no doubt that <strong>Jonathan Dos Santos</strong> is one of the most talented players to ever lace them up in Major League Soccer. Sadly, Los Angeles Galaxy will miss his presence in the MLS is Back tournament.</p>
<p>The Mexican star announced last week that he was about to undergo <strong>minimally invasive hernia surgery</strong> that would keep him in the sidelines for, at least, 6 weeks. Galaxy will need to find someone else to anchor their defense in the center of the pitch.</p>
<h2>2. Josef Martínez – Atlanta United</h2>

<p></p></div>
<p><strong>Josef Martínez,</strong> MLS’s record-holder for most consecutive goals in league history won’t be attending the tournament either, which is the biggest blow Frank De Boer’sAtlanta United could ever think of.</p>
<p>The Venezuelan striker will be sidelined for a long stretch after suffering an ACL injury. Now, it’ll be up to <strong>‘Pity’ Martínez </strong>to finally step up and prove why he was one of the most coveted players in South America.</p>

<p>And last, but not least, <strong>Carlos Vela </strong>– the league’s reigning MVP – will also be sitting out of the tournament. According to the Mexican superstar, he’ll use the time to be with his wife amid a risky pregnancy.</p>
<p>“It is in thebest interest of the health of my familyto stay home and be with my wife duringwhat is a risky pregnancy.<strong>I will miss being with my teammatesand coaches</strong>, but I will be cheering and supporting <a href="https://us.bolavip.com/soccer/Los-Angeles-FC-schedule-for-MLS-is-Back-tournament-fixture-and-how-to-watch-or-stream-games-20200707-0001.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">LAFC</a> from a distance.
