Softfootball reports that Thomas Lemar clocks 30 today, November 12, 2025, and honestly, it feels strange saying that. It feels like just yesterday he was the fresh, fearless winger lighting up Ligue 1 with Monaco. His story, though, has been a bit of everything: flashes of brilliance, quiet struggles, and that sense that he could've been even more.
A lot of things have not worked out well for the superstar, given his potential, with injury being one of his major problems. He is just recovering from one that even made him miss his teams narrow 2-1 defeat in the hands of Barcelona .
Born in Baie-Mahault, Guadeloupe, Lemar came through like a breath of fresh air at AS Monaco. In the 2016-17 season, he was unstoppable, gliding past defenders, threading passes like it was nothing, and helping Monaco win the Ligue 1 title and reach the Champions League semi-finals. He possesses a similar profile to yesterdays birthday boy, Wilfred Zaha, even though their paths never crossed.
