28-year-old Alessane Pléa could be the executioner of Real Madrid this Wednesday in the Champions League. The forward arrives at the 'final' for the team in a formidable state of form, he is to only three goals from the total that he scored last season.
Pléa left Olympique Lyon, but his best numbers are with Nice, with which he played 49 games and got 21 goals and six assists.
For the Frenchman, the Belgian Eden Hazard is one of his idols, as well as others like Henry, Cristiano or Benzema, who he is not far off from equalling looking at the data from this season.
But Pléa's career has also had its ups and downs as he has had to deal with two injuries that put him on hold. As if that weren't enough, the second one made him go through the operating room so that the doctors could find the real problem. In other words, Pléa underwent surgery practically blind.
The striker is also linked to the project created by Juan Mata, as he became the first Frenchman to donate 1% of his salary to the Spanish footballer's 'Common Goal'.
Pléa has Malian heritage because his father was born there, although at the age of 17 he was already studying in France. Sekoue decided to return to teaching and became the mayor of Keke.
Gladbach can boast of having a big star in its ranks, because Pléa, who is still at a high level, was on the agenda of Barcelona, which, according to 'Bild', offered 50 million euros to the German team for the winter market.
