Andres Iniesta Makes Tear-Inducing Return To Barcelona To Say Hello

The J1 League came to a close on Nov. 30, and with it, Andres Iniesta’s first season with Vissel Kobe.

Yesterday, 19-year-old AC Milan goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma made his 100th consecutive Serie A appearance for the club, a streak which began during the 2015-16 season. It’s a feat that doesn’t make much sense for a teenager plying his trade at the seven-time European champions. It's mind-boggling.
