PSG – Maignan sees Chevalier as his natural successor

Mike Maignan (30 years old), goalkeeper for AC Milan and the French national team, spoke about his counterpart from Paris Saint-Germain, Lucas Chevalier (23 years old), during a press conference. The French keeper praised the work ethic, humility, and potential of the young Parisian, whom he considers 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 will establish himself at PSG”

Everything comes naturally with Lucas, we talk a lot outside of the national team. We’re in contact. It’s part of the learning process. He’s a young goalkeeper with a lot ahead of him. With all the effort he puts in every day, I’m convinced he will establish himself at PSG.”

Lucas Chevalier remains a goalkeeper in development, aware that talent alone is not enough at PSG. At 23, he is still learning to handle pressure, manage key moments, and meet the technical demands of a club that strives for excellence. His calm demeanor, discipline, and ability to listen are among his greatest strengths: he doesn’t try to skip steps, but rather climbs them methodically.

This clarity sets him apart. Chevalier knows he still needs to improve his reading of the game, distribution under pressure, and positioning, but his humility opens the right doors for him. He respects the rules, listens to his elders—especially Mike Maignan—and turns every observation into a learning experience. If he continues on this path of respect and patience, he will overcome each technical hurdle one by one.
