Cheikh Diabaté has proven to be Bordeaux’s standout striker for two consecutive seasons, consistently rescuing his team from challenging situations. This was evident once again during the 14th day of Ligue 1 when Bordeaux found themselves trailing 1-0. Diabaté stepped up and scored, securing a crucial equalizer for a final score of 1-1.
With this goal, Diabaté has etched his name into the pantheon of the club’s top scorers, matching the number of goals scored by the legendary Zinedine Zidane under the same colors in 1992 and 1996. However, if he aims to surpass the record holder, Lilian Laslandes (70 goals), he will need to continue his prolific scoring.
There are also speculations about Diabaté potentially leaving the club, with Newcastle reportedly showing interest. Whether he stays at Bordeaux or explores new opportunities, his impact and goal-scoring prowess have undoubtedly left an indelible mark on the club’s recent history.
