Joined the Paris Saint-Germain team as a holder during the two confrontations against Liverpool, the young left side delivered a remarkable performance, neutralizing with surprising serenity Egyptian wingman Mohamed Salah.

He stressed that the priority was the ability to prevent the opponent from scoring, even before focusing on offensive prowess.

Finally, Nuno Mendes is fully committed to the ambition of a new generation of Parisian players who want to build a sustainable and successful project. He saw a significant change in the mentality within the changing room, characterized by a common desire to help the club achieve its highest goals. The hope, carried by a player like him, is legitimate, and the PSG continues its march towards European consecration with determination and ambition.
