Impassable against PAOK Salonika (1-0) this Thursday, Olympique de Marseille goalkeeper Steve Mandanda (37 years old, 7 games in C3 and LEC this season) played a key role in the qualification of the Olympians in the semi-finals of Europa League Conference. The doorman, rated 8.5/10 and voted Man of the Match by the Maxifoot editorial staff (see the Debrief here), also received a strong tribute from his teammate Mattéo Guendouzi (23 years old, 12 games and 1 goal in C3 and LEC this season) after the meeting.
“Steve is the captain of the team. He is used to this kind of match and we feel that with him we were very calm this evening. We saw clearly, following the first stops he did, that no ball would go in. Because when he plays like that, he’s fantastic. He’s the man of the match tonight, he was excellent and we need this kind of players to achieve our goals.” , claimed the Marseille midfielder on W9.
The “Fenomeno” will appreciate such a comment!
