Edouard Mendy is a Senegalese international goalkeeper who joined Chelsea from Rennes in September 2020, penning a five-year deal. Mendy’s impressive start to life at Chelsea included a run of six consecutive clean sheets between October and November. The goalkeeper commanded his area well and made a number of crucial stops as the Blues defeated Crystal Palace, Krasnodar, Burnley and former club Rennes across domestic and European football, as well as producing a sublime performance at Old Trafford to ensure we left with a point against Manchester United. He was composed and assured as the Blues brushed aside Atletico Madrid and Porto to reach the semi-finals, conceding just once over those four games. Mendy impressed in the semi-final win over Real Madrid, too, before putting in another solid display as we defeated Manchester City in the final with an early save to deny Raheem Sterling setting the tone.

Those performances in his maiden year at the club saw him named UEFA Champions League Goalkeeper of the Season and helped him to second place in the voting for the Yashin Trophy, an award recognising the game’s best goalkeepers, becoming only the second ever keeper in Chelsea history to be shortlisted.

Mendy was instrumental to our Champions League success, with his impact highlighted by his record-breaking nine clean sheets en route to our late May final victory. No goalkeeper had recorded more shutouts in Europe’s elite club competition in a debut season.

Mendy’s second term at Stamford Bridge was another overwhelmingly positive one, with the Senegalese keeper holding onto his mantle as Chelsea’s number one and becoming the second quickest player to reach 30 clean sheets for the club (in 54 games, three matches more than Petr Cech took). In total, he managed 23 shutouts in 49 appearances across all competitions, including in both Wembley finals against Liverpool, and produced a string of eye-catching saves. The most notable of those came late on in narrow wins at Brentford and at home to Leeds, and as we held on with 10 men for a point at Liverpool.

On an individual level, in January he was voted The Best FIFA Men’s Goalkeeper for 2021, cementing his place as one of the top goalkeepers in world football, as well as finishing runner-up in the Yashin Award at the Ballon d’Or ceremony the previous month.
