Ismaila Sarr received a hero’s welcome from his Crystal Palace teammates at training today, with the players lining up to give him a guard of honor.
The Senegalese winger was celebrating his team’s victory in the Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) final against Morocco, which they won 1-0 after extra time.
Sarr, who came on as a substitute in the 77th minute of the final, was part of the Senegal team that secured their second AFCON title.
He has been in impressive form for Crystal Palace this season, with 10 goal involvements in 20 appearances.
The guard of honor is a testament to Sarr’s importance to the team and his achievements on the international stage.
Crystal Palace manager Oliver Glasner has praised Sarr’s pace and ability to create space for his teammates.
