Captain Carlos.
LAFC superstar Carlos Vela has been voted by fans on Twitter as captain of the MLS All-Star team, set to face Atletico Madrid in the 2019 MLS All-Star Game presented by Target. The Spanish giants will face the best of MLS at Exploria Stadium in Orlando on Wednesday, July 31 (8 pm ET | FS1, UniMás in US; TSN, TVA Sports in Canada).
Vela, who is contributing goals at a historic pace this season, leads the league in goals (21) and is second in assists (12) after just 20 appearances. He is on pace to break the league's single-season record for goals (31), set by Josef Martinez last year. It's the second consecutive season that Vela will captain the MLS All-Stars.
The other candidates for the armband were Wayne Rooney, Nani and Chris Wondolowski.
