Jon Obi Mikel! The ageless wonder. For all the turnover that there’s been at Stamford Bridge over the years, all the players and managers that have come and gone, there has always been Jon Obi Mikel, seemingly always coming off the bench for Chelsea.

One of the main reasons a neutral fan would tune in to a PSG match is to see what Zlatan Ibrahimovic does next. Over the past few years Zlatan has turned himself into one of the greatest characters in world soccer, which was certainly aided by his tendency to refer to himself in the third […]
