Cardona made his professional debut on 2 February 2017 in the Coupe de France Round of 32 against FC Chambly. He replaced Pierre-Daniel N'Guinda after 78 minutes in a 5–4 away win.[2] He made his Ligue 1 debut 10 days later coming on for Radamel Falcao to play the last 9 minutes of a 5–0 home thrashing of Metz.[3]

He scored an important penalty in the last minute in the champion's game against Beerschot-Wilrijk.[5] He was voted second best player in the league, after teammate Xavier Mercier.[6]
