Wissam Ben Yedder elected MVP against Stade de Reims
Author of his 15th but of the season against the Champenois, the captain of the Red and Whites was named man of the match for this 26th day of Ligue 1, by Monegasque fans on the AS Monaco App.
In victory as in defeat, he is there! Already involved in 10 goals with AS Monaco in 2022, all competitions combined (7 goals and 3 assists), Wissam Ben Yedder again shook the nets against Reims this Sunday. Author of the opener after returning from the locker room (55th), for his 15th goal of the season in Ligue 1, the current top scorer in the elite never ceases to impress with his consistency.
3500th but of AS Monaco in the elite
Perfectly served by Sofiane Diop, with a clever gesture, the Monegasque number 10 achieved success by achieving a magnificent control sequence – cross strike with the right foot. In the wake of this goal, he could even have offered himself a double, if the post of Pedrag Rajkovic had not pushed back his volley from a set piece (58th). Whatever, the captain of the Red and Whites still made an impression, and history in passing, by scoring the 3,500th goal for AS Monaco in the French league.
9th best Monegasque scorer in L1
A 63rd achievement in 109 matches played in the Diagonale jersey, the 53rd in Ligue 1, which now makes him the Principality club’s ninth top scorer in the top flight… ahead of David Trezeguet (52)! A symbol of his consistency at the very highest level, he is now only the 5th French player to have scored at least 15 goals in four consecutive seasons in the European Top 5 in the 21st century.
In the same court as Thierry Henry
He thus joins a very closed circle, made up of Thierry Henry, Antoine Griezmann, Alexandre Lacazette and Karim Benzema. It is therefore logical that Captain’ Wiss was named MVP of the match against Stade de Reims, for the 10th time this season, with 74% of the votes of Monegasque fans on the AS Monaco App. Before the meeting, he had also received the UNFP Trophy for the best Ligue 1 player in January. Well done Wissam!
