Club career

Maxence Rivera was born on May 30, 2002 in Vénissieux, on the city limits of Lyon . In his childhood he worked for US Rochoise for almost two years and in the summer of 2012 he moved to the youth department of FC Bourgoin-Jallieu . At the club from Bourgoin-Jallieu , located around 50 kilometers southeast of Lyon , he was used until 2015 before he made the leap to the academy of AS Saint-Étienne , another hour's drive away . Here he went through all junior league classes from the U-15 and was used for the first time in the B-team of the club with play in the fourth-class National 2 shortly before his 17th birthday . In the 0-1 away defeat against Moulins Yzeure Foot on May 18, 2019, Rivera came on the field in the 70th minute of the game to replace Adrien Fleury . Just a week later, Aurélien Remoué put him in the starting lineup in the last game of the season, the home game against Stade Montois . He scored the 1-0 winning goal in the 65th minute and was replaced on the field ten minutes later by Zakaria Bengueddoudj . In the final ranking he and the team finished ninth in Group B.

From the start of the 2019/20 season on, Rivera was regularly used in the B team and was able to record appearances in the first five championship games of the season. After that Rivera was used again primarily in the club's own youth and only came back to appearances in the B team after signing his professional contract at the beginning of the following year. After the club announced on January 3, 2020 that the 1.71 m tall right-footer had signed a professional contract dated until the summer of 2022, Rivera made his competitive debut for the professionals on January 8, 2020 when he lost 6-1 played against Paris Saint-Germain in the quarter-finals of the Coupe de la Ligue 2019/20 from the start and was replaced by Charles Abi at halftime . Just four days later, Rivera made his debut under coach Claude Puel in the country's top football league when he came on the pitch in the 66th minute for Franck Honorat in the 2-0 home defeat against FC Nantes . After that, the young offensive player only sat irregularly on the substitute bench of the professional team and only made two appearances for the second team in February before the game was first interrupted due to the COVID-19 pandemic in France and then completely stopped. In the final standings of Ligue 1 2019/20 he placed AS Saint-Étienne in 17th place in the table and brought the team to the final of the Coupe de France 2019/20 ; A decision has not yet been made about whether or not the final game will be held. Due to the premature interruption of the game operations, he had no more opportunity to break away from the back seats with the club's B team and rose to the fifth class with the team that occupied the 15th of 16 places in Group B of the National 2 National 3 from.

National team career

Rivera gained his first experience in a youth national team of the Fédération Française de Football on February 12, 2020, when he made his debut in a friendly against Italy in the French U-18 national team. In his home country's 2-1 win at Stade Pierre Pibarot , he came into play in the 78th minute for Kélian Nsona Wa Saka from SM Caen , who scored the 1-0.
