Benoît Badiashile and Youssouf Fofana centenarians with AS Monaco
Both holders this Sunday on the lawn of the Allianz Riviera, the central defender and the midfielder have become centenarians in the jersey of AS Monaco. Congratulations gentlemen!
The Derby won on the lawn of OGC Nice this Sunday (0-1) is a match that Youssouf Fofana and Benoît Badiashile will remember for a long time. The first has crossed the 100-game mark with AS Monaco, while the second, trained at the club, has just passed the milestone of 100 games in Ligue 1 with the Red and Whites.
A record for Benoît Badiashile
By playing the 90 minutes this Sunday evening during the victory against OGC Nice (1-0) Benoît Badiashile, at the height of his 21 years, played his 124th match in all competitions and especially his… 100th match in Ligue 1, under the colors of AS Monaco!
From his league debut in 2018-2019 when he hosted Paris Saint-Germain until last night, our number 5 has established himself as a centerpiece of the Monegasque squad over the seasons. The proof, Benoît Badiashile became the first player born in the 21st century to play 100 Ligue 1 matches. A major performance!
It is a pride. I am very happy to do my 100th in Ligue 1 with my training club.
Defender of AS Monaco
In addition to the victory, this #OGCNASM was very special for @BadiashileBwho played his 💯th game of @Ligue1UberEats !

Youssouf Fofana also centenary
A second Monegasque is also to be honoured: Youssouf Fofana. Arrived from Racing Club de Strasbourg in January 2020, our 23-year-old midfielder immediately proved to be an indispensable part of the red and white midfield. In two and a half years, the number 19 played his 100th match in all competitions in the Diagonal jersey, for a total of two goals and nine assists. Good job guys !
