• Christian Mawissa’s costly mistake leaves AS Monaco dressing room stunned and jubilating
• Young defender punished with valuable gifts for the entire squad after arriving late to training
• Fans can’t stop laughing as social media explodes with jokes and memes about the hilarious ‘wheel of punishments’ outcome

AS Monaco defender Christian Mawissa learned an expensive lesson this week after arriving late to training, and the club’s famous “wheel of punishments” decided his fate.

The 20-year-old French-Congolese centre-back, who joined Monaco in the summer of 2024 from Toulouse, has been one of the standout young defenders in Ligue 1.

Known for his strength, calm distribution, and leadership, Mawissa has played a vital role in Adi Hütter’s side during the 2025/26 season, with Monaco pushing for a top-three finish and a return to the Champions League, as cited by GOAL.

The wheel includes light-hearted penalties such as cleaning boots, serving lunch, or wearing funny outfits, and a few nightmare options, too.

When Mawissa’s turn came after his late arrival, fate dealt him one of the harshest blows possible: “Buy an iPhone 16 Pro Max for the entire squad.” With around 25 players in the team, including Ghana’s Mohammed Salisu, that’s a financial hit running into tens of thousands of euros.

Fans quickly reacted to the hilarious story on social media, flooding X and Instagram with jokes and memes, as noted by Football France.
