In the heart of France, Monaco is known for its rich history and stunning landscapes. However, it is also where football has made its mark. The city of Monaco has hosted numerous major tournaments including the Coupe de France and the Coupe de la Ligue, with Ben Yedder being one of the most celebrated players to have played in both.
On May 22nd, 2020, Monaco was crowned champions of French Football League (Ligue 1) after defeating their arch-rivals Nice in a thrilling final. Ben Yedder, who had been a regular starter since his debut in 2014, scored the winning goal as Monaco beat Nice 2-1 to reach a personal record of 18 goals in all competitions this season.
Ben Yedder's success at the top level of European football has earned him a lot of attention from fans and media alike. His performances have often been compared to that of legendary players such as Lionel Messi or Cristiano Ronaldo, but he has proven himself on the pitch too.
The 36-year-old winger has been a key player for Monaco throughout his career, playing alongside many other greats like Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Antoine Griezmann, and Kaka. He has won several prestigious awards throughout his career, including the Ballon d'Or award in 2017 and the FIFA World Player of the Year award in 2019.
However, Ben Yedder's journey to the top of the league has not been without controversy. He faced criticism during the summer of 2020 when he was accused of using performance-enhancing drugs. This incident caused a significant rift between Ben Yedder and his former club Monaco FC, leading to a series of public apologies and discussions about ethics in sports.
Despite these controversies, Ben Yedder remains committed to his game and continues to excel on the pitch. He has been praised for his leadership qualities and his ability to inspire his teammates, something that is evident in his performances in the league. Despite the challenges, Ben Yedder remains a true star of the game and will continue to be a valuable asset to Monaco and the entire sport of football.
