Mike Maignan (30), goalkeeper for AC Milan and the French national team, spoke about his counterpart at Paris Saint-Germain, Lucas Chevalier (23), during a press conference. The French international praised the young PSG keeper’s work ethic, humility, and potential, describing him as a “little brother.”
“Lucas is a young goalkeeper with a lot of potential — a hard worker, very humble. We have a big brother–little brother relationship. The most important thing is the team.”
Maignan: “He’ll make his mark at PSG.”
“Everything happens naturally with Lucas; we talk a lot outside the national team. We stay in touch. It’s all part of the learning process. He’s a young goalkeeper with many great years ahead of him. With all the effort he puts in every day, I’m convinced he’ll establish himself at PSG.”
Lucas Chevalier remains a goalkeeper in development — aware that talent alone isn’t enough at PSG.
At 23, he’s still learning to handle pressure, manage key moments, and meet the technical demands of a club striving for excellence. His calm temperament, discipline, and eagerness to learn are among his greatest strengths. He’s not rushing through the stages of his career; he’s building steadily.
That self-awareness sets him apart. Chevalier knows he still needs to improve his reading of the game, passing under pressure, and positioning, but his humility keeps him on the right path.
By respecting the hierarchy, listening to his mentors — especially Mike Maignan — and turning every piece of advice into growth, he’s shaping a career built on patience and precision.
If he continues on this trajectory, each technical milestone will naturally follow.
