Cédric Bakambu is Congo DR's most decorated forward and the player opponents plan around. His peak came at Villarreal, where he was one of La Liga's most reliable strikers, before a record-breaking move to Beijing Guoan. Spells at Marseille and now Real Betis have kept him in European football well into his thirties. For the Leopards, he is the experienced reference point in attack — a technically assured finisher with the intelligence to link play and the pedigree to perform on the biggest stages. At 35, this World Cup likely represents his final chapter at international level.
