Starting for the first time this season in Paris Saint-Germain’s 4-2 win over Strasbourg on Saturday, young midfielder Senny Mayulu (18 years old, 5 appearances and 1 goal in Ligue 1 this season) scored his first-ever Ligue 1 goal.
It was a dream come true for PSG academy graduate Senny Mayulu: at 18, he netted the opening goal in PSG’s match against Strasbourg, marking his first goal for the club.
« The coach trusted me to start this match, and I’m really happy and grateful for that. The goal? It’s unbelievable, it’s a childhood dream. As a kid, I used to watch goals on TV, and now, to score at the Parc des Princes with the crowd behind me, it’s incredible. »
Regarding his missed chance for a second goal, he admitted, « That was a mistake, I rushed it a bit, but I’ll do better next time. My goal now? To earn more playing time and work hard every day, » the young Parisian told DAZN.
