Edouard Mendy broke a Champions League record last night as Chelsea progressed to the final of the competition.
The Blues number one managed to keep an eighth clean sheet of the season in a 2-0 win against Real Madrid.
This is the most that has ever been achieved by a goalkeeper for an English club in a single season!
As well as keeping eight clean sheets, Mendy has only conceded 3 goals in the 11 games that he has started.
It has been a rollercoaster of a journey for the Senegalese keeper, who was forced to register for unemployment in 2014.
Mendy, was then playing in the fourth tier of French football 2 years later where he had to work his way through the ranks.
Ligue 1 side, Rennes then signed Mendy in 2019 before he made his move to London a year later for around £20 million.
He is now only one step away from attaining the ultimate dream of winning the Champions League.
Standing in the way is Pep Guardiola’s Manchester City who defeated PSG to earn their place in final.
The all English clash will take place on the 29th of May, where Mendy will be hoping to get his hands on some silverware.
