UEFA Technical Observers selected the 23 best players of the 2019/120 Europa League season and the only African player on the list is Morocco goalkeeper Yassine Bounou of record competition winners FC Sevilla.
Bono saved a penalty against Wolves in the quaterfinals as the Spanish side scored a last minute winner to advance to the semifinals where they eliminated another English opposition in the name of Manchester United and once again the Moroccan stood tall as he made several crucial saves to deny the hot attack of United making sure Sevilla win 2-1 to reach the finals.
Bono won the ultimate title after a nerve-racking final against Inter Milan with the La Liga side winning 3-2 and Bono’s 69th minute save of a Romelu Lukaku effort was one of the turning points in the massive final.
