Once again Edouard Mendy has shown up for his country when it mattered most. The 28-year-old's heroics gave Senegal their pass into the World Cup in Qatar later this year.
I can go on and on, shouting to the ends of the Earth about how much of an achievement this is for the Chelsea goalkeeper, but the accolade speaks for itself. Yashin Award winner Gianluigi Donnarumma will be looking at Mendy in admiration as Italy face elimination just last week.
It's no secret that Chelsea fans have been left with a sore spot following last year's Ballon d'Or awards. Whilst Chelsea won the new "Best Club of the Year" award, their players fell short of winning the top prize. Jorginho was beaten to the ultimate prize by Lionel Messi and Robert Lewandowski. Mendy was runner up to Donnarumma.
