Many French players are currently playing abroad. While some get a lot of attention, others advance in the shadows, but are no less talented. This is typically the case for Anthony Caci. At 27, the very versatile player trained in Strasbourg has stabilized at the right-back position this season. And the least we can say is that it works for him.

Moreover, Anthony Caci will be able to come up against what is best in Germany with Bayern at the moment, namely Bayer Leverkusen this Tuesday evening in the Bundesliga in this top-of-the-table clash. Enough to prove to those who doubted it that the former Strasbourg resident has grown up…
