They had combined for the goal of the game. Iniesta glided forward, fed Messi, collected his return pass, dummied exquisitely past David Soria and fired home. After the jumping fist pump and the player huddle came Messi’s tribute: eyes closed, he hugged his long-time team-mate, the image a silent reflection of the headline that would follow in AS the next day: “Iniesta, don’t go!”. Messi knew, though. The news was confirmed the following Friday, but it came as no surprise: Iniesta was to leave Barcelona at the end of 2017-18, after 22 years at the club....

The pair went head to head for the drivers’ title last year, Hamilton ultimately prevailing by 46 points to pull level with the German on four championships. The biggest flashpoint of the title race came in Azerbaijan, when Vettel deliberately drove his car into the Briton, who won six of the 12 remaining races.

A hundred and ninety-eight years after Abraham Lincoln’s birth, the White House’s Lincoln Bedroom finally looks like a room the great man would recognize. Until recently, Lincoln furniture and a copy of the Gettysburg Address were displayed against the pale walls, curtains and carpet of a 1950s city hotel–not the vivid golds and purples, heavy fabrics and large patterns of Lincoln’s era. One reason for this mild historical fib was to focus attention on the chamber’s historic objects....

He’s glad it’s over, too — especially since he had no expectation of matching Wilt Chamberlain’s 65-game streak, the longest in NBA history. Harden’s stretch with 30 or more points ranks second. “Yeah I am. It was cool but I knew I wasn’t going to get to No....
