French footballer Bacary Sagna currently plays for Montreal Impact, a Major League Soccer club. The 35-year-old plays majorly as a right back. The Sens-born player has represented France in two FIFA World Cups.

Sagna began his senior career in 2002 with French club Auxerre. He made an overall 121 appearances for Auxerre and was signed by The Gunners on July 12, 2007, for €12 million. He soon established himself as a first choice full back for Arsene Wenger. The 35-year-old represented Arsenal in 284 matches overall and also scored 5 goals.

The technically sound player moved to Manchester City ahead of the 2014–15 season and 3 seasons later to Serie A club Benevento.

The FA Cup trophy during the 2013–14 season is the only title Sagna won with Arsenal. Even though the French Right-Back is not at the top of his game anymore, 'Mr. Reliable' still brings in a lot of experience to Montreal Impact and the other players have a lot to learn from him.
