At 38 years old, Steve Mandanda is still a major player in the French championship this season. The 2018 world champion is having a good time at Stade Rennais where he is most often solid.
Questioned by his former teammate Adil Rami on the show Téléfoot, the Olympique de Marseille legend spoke about goalkeepers in Europe and took the opportunity to point out who is currently the number 1.
If Mike Maignan is the best goalkeeper in the world? Right now yeah, possible. I like everything about him. I love the man. He’s a respectful and real guy. He has a big personality. He is sure of himself and his strengths. As a goalkeeper, he can do everything. In the air, on his line, on the feet and at the level of anticipation. »
Present and starting against OM this Sunday
This Sunday, Steve Mandanda faces his former club Olympique de Marseille as part of the 26th day of Ligue 1. An important match for the Rennes club but also for him. Eighth in the standings, SRFC is three points behind its opponent of the day.
