I was convinced for a while she would jump straight to Barca in the summer of 2025...
The awards ceremony happened today. The official page for them: https://weleague.jp/awards/ Best XI (or besuto ereben in japanese @lukephan :D)...
Koga took Hasegawa's place in midfield. Average age of players on the pitch is now 3 years and 2 months (rough estimate).
