And although he’s been a backup solution for Czech keeper Tomas Vaclik, the African has proved his worth and earned the position of Sevilla’s number one. He was particularly influential in the Europa League campaign where he was key against Wolverhampton, saving a penalty from Raul Jimenez. His standout performance came against Manchester United, however, in the semifinals, where his saves helped the team to the final which they would win against Inter Milan. His remarkable campaign led to the club triggering his buy option in the summer of 2020.🙌 Disfruta de los mejores momentos de Bono en el #SevillaFC. ⤵🇲🇦 #Bono2025 🧤#WeareSevilla #NuncaTeRindas— Sevilla Fútbol Club (@SevillaFC) April 19, 2022 Should Bono play at Levante on Thursday, it would mark his 100th game at the club, totalling 65 in La Liga, eight in the Copa del Rey, 11 in the Champions League, 14 in the Europa League and one in the UEFA Super Cup.
