Football is so tribal that it’s hard to find players that are respected by everyone, but it’s pretty difficult to find any rational human being who doesn’t have a soft spot for Edouard Mendy.
The goalkeeper in May 2015, was unemployed and was looking for a job after being released by Cherbourg.
In May 2021, he become the very first African goalkeeper to win the European Cup in the Champions League era.
Chelsea beat Manchester City 1-0 to win the 2020/2021 Champions League, congratulations to Mendy.
