Sevilla were going out at the Mestalla on 1 May 2014 until Mbia met Federico Fazio's flick at the far post in the 94th minute, a header Sevilla still calls the Mbiazo. It carried them to the first of two straight Europa League titles he won there, on top of Ligue 1 in 2010 and three Coupes de la Ligue with Marseille, 68 Cameroon caps, and the captain's armband at the 2014 World Cup. Career record: 68 caps and 5 goals for Cameroon; club career at Stade Rennais, Olympique de Marseille, Hebei.
