Ferland Mendy, Ancelotti's incredible compliment

The “Mister” was very complimentary towards the French international, now free of his physical problems.

Sunday, at 8 p.m., the final of the Spanish Super Cup will take place, between Real Madrid and FC Barcelona. On the eve of this meeting, Carlo Ancelotti gave a press conference.

The Italian technician notably returned to the very good performance of Ferland Mendy, against Atlético (5-3), in the semi-final of the same competition. “When everything goes well, he’s the best left-back in the world. Offensively, he can improve, even though he scored the other day. But defensively, when he’s in top form, he’s the best full-back in the world.”judged the former Paris Saint-Germain coach.

Arriving at Real Madrid from Olympique Lyonnais in 2019, for an amount of around 50 million euros, Ferland Mendy was not spared from physical problems. Freed from his right adductor injury, the native of Meulan (Yvelines) could soon return to the French team and consider participating in Euro 2024 in Germany. As a reminder, the defender has not worn the rooster jersey since September 2022 and a defeat in Denmark in the Nations League.
