After eliminating a Parisian defender with a nice right foot control, Grenadière unleashes a missile in the top corner, unstoppable for the PSG goalkeeper. A goal that exploded the Groupama Stadium, where the Haitian flag was waved by a fan.
What a way to add your name to the list of Champions League scorers! A first goal which is of capital importance for Dumornay, becoming that day the very first Haitian athlete to achieve the feat of scoring in the Champions League.
To well-born souls, value does not wait for the number of years.
At only 20 years old, the Mirebalaisienne, holds a range of records in the queen of Europe competition: first Haitian scorer, first Haitian elected player of the match, first Haitian to have played a direct elimination match (quarters, semi and final), first Haitian whose goal is elected goal of the week, first Haitian elected best young player, first Haitian with the best goal of the season.
However, the Haitian nugget, who sparkled in the championship, only made his debut in the premier competition of Europe in the quarter-finals against the Benfica team from Lisbon.
To well-born souls, value does not wait for the number of years. Melchie Daelle Dumornay, of her little one template d’1.60ma seduced from his first match against the Portuguese Benfica who suffered the Haitian law.
Author of a nice assist, the Haitian genius helped the Lyonnaises pass the Portuguese milestone before paving the way to the grand final by dominating the Parisiennes with two goals and two assists in the double confrontation.
The best young player in the Champions League came up against the Barcelona wall, winner of the tournament by dominating the Lyonnaises 2-0 in the final.
A hard blow for Dumornay who still came out with her head held high with impressive stats. The Haitian is in the top 5 of the best passers with 3 achievements. With a speed of 32.7 km/h, Dumornay is the second fastest player in the competition behind Parisian Chawinga. Remember that the Haitian striker only played 5 matches. The Parisian, for her part, played 10 matches.
A brilliantly successful first season for the young Haitian midfielder.
