Edouard Mendy, Senegal’s goalkeeper, expressed his happiness at winning the African Nations Cup for the first time in history.

The Senegalese goalkeeper revealed that his victory in the African Championship is many times his happiness by winning the Champions League with Chelsea.

It is noteworthy that Senegal won the tournament after defeating its Egyptian counterpart in the final of the African Nations Cup on penalties last month, and won the tournament for the first time in its history.

“I said before that the feeling of winning the African Nations Cup was stronger than the feeling of winning the Champions League with Chelsea in 2021,” Mendy said in his interview with the French magazine On’s.

The Chelsea goalkeeper added, “Some people disagree with me. But no one can explain how I feel, I won the African Nations Cup and the Champions League, so I can explain.”

He explained, “Of course, there is a difference, I felt a special chill when I won the African Nations Cup ten times more than I felt when I won the Champions League, this is my feeling, this is what really happened.”

He continued, “When we won the Champions League, we were in the period of the spread of the Coronavirus, we did not celebrate in the streets with the Chelsea fans, and this is very important.”

“But when I saw what happened in Dakar after winning the African Nations Cup, I can say that it is ten times stronger.”

The best goalkeeper in the world is preparing to meet Egypt again later this month in the decisive round of the 2022 World Cup qualifiers.

The first leg will be held in Cairo on March 25, before the return leg will be held in Dakar on March 29.
