Jean-Philippe Mateta’s journey in football is one everyone should take motivation from… 👏🇫🇷
At 20 years old, he signed his first pro contract for French 3rd Division side Châteauroux, before climbing into Ligue 1 with Lyon and then the Bundesliga with Mainz…
Now at 28, he’s found his home with Crystal Palace and established himself as one of the best strikers in the Premier League, with a very deserved France NT call-up to prove it! 🤩
What a journey, it’s what football is all about! 💙
