Mateta’s popularity at Selhurst Park is evident from the enthusiastic responses he received after this milestone.
Brief Performance Overview
During his brief 11 minutes on the pitch, Mateta had limited opportunities. According to Sofascore, he had three touches, one shot on goal (which was blocked), and completed one accurate pass. His teammates faced challenges in involving him in the play.
However, the situation may change soon. Kylian Mbappe recently sustained an injury, increasing the likelihood that Mateta will take a more prominent role in the upcoming match against Iceland on Monday. A full debut could provide him the chance to score and further his dream of contributing to the French national team’s success.
