Well visible during this fourth day of the Champions League won against Bologna (0-1) and scorer in the last minutes, the German was elected MVP of the match by the fans on the AS Monaco App.
“I could imagine myself with this man of the match trophy,” he declared, all smiles, in the mixed zone. This Tuesday evening, Thilo Kehrer was indeed voted best player of the match by UEFA after the victory acquired in the last minutes on the Bologna pitch (0-1), during the 4th day of the Champions League. A victory in which the German greatly participated since he scored the only goal of the game.
I was told that it was like Pippo Inzaghi, but I don't think I'm there yet (smile). On this action, I find myself quite well placed and I had success so I am very happy.

A goal like a surface fox
A real attacker's goal, in “Pippo Inzaghi” mode! Already a scorer at Auxerre then at Rennes, the defender knows how to sniff out the right shots from a corner. Indeed, thanks to Aleksandr Golovin's set piece, deflected perfectly by Breel Embolo, the defender alone in the area, cuts the trajectory of the ball to score the winning goal in the last minutes of the game (0- 1, 87e).
His first goal in C1
At the same time, the German scored the first goal of his career in C1. And as Opta points out, Thilo was involved in two goals during his last two Champions League matches with the Principality club (1 goal and 1 assist against Belgrade), while he had never been decisive in his first 22 in the competition (20 meetings with Paris-SG, 2 with Monaco).
A complementary duo with Wilfried
Furthermore, the author of a high-level performance at the heart of the central defense with his friend Wilfried Singo, allowing the clean sheet, he stood out for his clearances (4), his interceptions (2), his duels won ( 3 out of 6) and his 42 successful passes out of 54 attempted (78%).
I'm happy with the victory, I think it's above all teamwork, we were united, we were motivated to win this match after the two defeats in the league. There was no fear of not winning the three points.
Wilfried SingoHis reaction after the match
As for his Ivorian teammate, he won 9 duels out of 12 contested and was close to opening the scoring in the first periodalso from a corner, but his goal was disallowed for a foul following contact with the goalkeeper (19th), before being the author of a great defensive return against Santiago Castro (50th).
Credited with a 7 in L’Équipe, MVP and POTM ????
An XXL performance for the German and a goal which will break the Bolognese (0-1). Credited with a 7 in the newspaper L'Équipe, like Wilfried Singo and Soungoutou Magassa, the central defender was also elected POTM by UEFA as well as MVP of the match by the fans on the AS Monaco App with nearly 64 % of the votes, ahead of Singo (24%) and Maghnes Akliouche (6%). Bravo Thilo! ????
