Édouard Mendy

Chelsea boss Thomas Tuchel believes his side were able to stay in the FA Cup final against Liverpool because of Edouard Mendy.

Never before have Africa's biggest football stars been as central to the sides contesting the FA Cup final. European champions Chelsea and quadruple-chasing Liverpool will contest the 141st final of the FA Cup on Saturday, with each side leaning heavily on African talent as they look to win more silverware.

Edouard Mendy is set to start in goal for Chelsea against Liverpool in the FA Cup final at Wembley Stadium, Thomas Tuchel has hinted.

Todd Boehly's consortium are likely to hand goalkeeper Edouard Mendy a pay rise at Chelsea following their takeover from Roman Abramovich, it has been reported. The American-Swiss consortium are set to take over as owners and are already planning their first moves at Chelsea. As per the Telegraph, Boehly is...

FA Cup semi-final shows few goalkeepers are more misunderstood than Chelsea’s under-appreciated Senegal international

Chelsea had gone two goals down and looked beaten before Kai Havertz pulled one back. Thomas Tuchel changed things at half time, and with 3/4 of the tie left we felt we might still have a chance. But after all that, Edouard Mendy has just made a sickening mistake to...

Chelsea goalkeeper Edouard Mendy has qualified for the 2022 World Cup in Qatar following Senegal's penalty shoot-out victory over Egypt. The Blues shot-stopper will be participating in the World Cup in December, when the Premier League season will take a break for the international tournament. The second leg of the...

Chelsea did not have a solidified No. 1 goalkeeper heading into the 2020/21 Premier League season. The Blues were coming off a campaign in which they finished in fourth in the table, four points ahead of Leicester City. The transfer ban during the summer of 2019 caused young players to rise in the ranks of the club, but after it was lifted, former Blues manager Frank Lampard took advantage. The best signing from that window was Senegalese shot-stopper Edouard Mendy.

Edouard Mendy has spoken about his fantastic save against a Karim Benzema shot last season when Chelsea faced Real Madrid in the semi-final of the Champions League. The Blues ended up beating their Spanish opposition 3-1 on aggregate after a second leg 2-0 win sealed their place in the final of the competition.

Chelsea goalkeeper Edouard Mendy has revealed what Senegal teammate Sadio Mane says to him every time his side face Liverpool. The 30-year-old made a double save in the Carabao Cup final to deny Liverpool from taking the lead at the end of February as he stopped Sadio Mane from scoring the rebound of a save from a Naby Keita shot.

Paul Merson says Chelsea would have won the Carabao Cup if Edouard Mendy had not been replaced by Kepa Arrizabalaga for the penalty shootout. With the Blues drawing 0-0 with Liverpool towards the end of extra-time at Wembley on Sunday, Thomas Tuchel made the decision to replace his first-choice goalkeeper as penalties loomed.

Kepa Arrizabalaga may have been the penalty shootout fall-guy, but Chelsea did at least have one goalkeeper who, even in defeat, produced a heroic Carabao Cup final performance. Chelsea head coach Thomas Tuchel afterwards said he would not rejudge his decision to take off Edouard Mendy for the shootout and...

Who knows what might have been had he not been subbed off...

The former Scottish player Ally McCoist believes removing the Lion of Teranga in the final of Carabao Cup final helped The Reds' players. Former Rangers striker Ally McCoist does not understand why Chelsea manager Thomas Tuchel substituted goalkeeper Edouard Mendy for Kepa Arrizabalaga during the Carabao Cup final against Liverpool at Wembley on Sunday.

Jamie Redknapp criticised the "ridiculous" call to bring Kepa Arrizabalaga on for Chelsea's Carabao Cup final shoot-out defeat - in which he missed the deciding spot kick. Kepa was brought on in place of first-choice goalkeeper Edouard Mendy for the shootout - as he was, successfully, for August's Super Cup penalty shootout win over Villarreal - but skied the decisive penalty of Sunday's final at Wembley after failing to save any of Liverpool's 11 attempts, handing the Carabao Cup to Jurgen Klopp's side.

Edouard Mendy - 9 A surprise selection ahead of Kepa Arrizabalaga, Mendy more than justified that with his extraordinary double save after half an hour at Wembley. The second stop, scrambling to divert Sadio Mane's close-range shot away from goal was truly remarkable. Almost ruined it with a poor kick in the second half but got away with that and then saved one-on-one from Luis Diaz. Stoppage-time save from Virgil van Dijk for good measure.

Chelsea goalkeeper Edouard Mendy has agreed with manager Thomas Tuchel that fatigue has played a huge role in their side's recent performances. The European champions recently beat Palmeiras 2-1 in the Club World Cup final, before scraping a 1-0 win over Crystal Palace on the weekend in two below average performances for the west London side.

Chelsea goalkeeper Edouard Mendy has declared that he had dreamt of playing alongside somebody like N'Golo Kante, who also had history in the lower leagues of French football. The pair faced off against each other as Boulogne played Cherbourg in front of 800 spectators. Now the duo play together at...
