Chelsea goalkeeper Edouard Mendy proud of personal trophy run | OneFootball

Chelsea goalkeeper Edouard Mendy admits he's a had a dream trophy run since joining from Rennes in 2020.

The Senegalese goalkeeper won both the UEFA Super Cup and FIFA Club World Cup in 2021/22 to add to the Champions League winners' medal he received in his debut season in west London. Edou was also influential in his native Senegal being crowned champions of Africa for the first time in the country's history earlier this year.

"I've experienced some absolutely joyous moments - with AFCON, the Champions League and the Super Cup, winning trophies - when you win them it becomes an addiction. When you live your life in competition, you always want to be in the final to win," says Mendy to Chelsea TV.

"I've been lucky enough to experience that at club level and with my national team who won AFCON for the first time in our history. So, it's a mix of a lot of emotions but enormously positive ones which brings huge amounts of pride to my family. And I'm proud to see them so happy.

"Even if I go back to Dakar, it's no longer the same - even if I had a status before, my status has been boosted even further. And that means more responsibility, but I've really felt the difference as soon as I signed for Chelsea and knew that I was at a really big club."
