My Take

Borja Iglesias, the Panda, is a striker I've always found easy to like, both for his finishing and for who he is off the pitch. Over 75 La Liga goals across Celta, Espanyol, and Betis is a serious return for a player who rarely got the marquee billing. What sets him apart for me is his willingness to take public stances on social issues, which is still rare among footballers. Coming up through Celta's reserves and circling back to the senior side is a satisfying arc. He's a proper penalty-box poacher with a personality, and the game needs more of that combination.

Overview
