Paris Saint-Germain experienced its first disillusionment in Ligue 1 by bowing at home against OGC Nice (1-3) last Friday. A setback that blows a wind of concern before the long-awaited displacement on the lawn of Arsenal for the semi-final go to the Champions League on Tuesday.
As this crucial European meeting approaches, the French press has not spared certain elements of the Parisian collective, in difficulty against Aiglons, notably Nuno Mendes. Our colleagues from Maxifoot thus attributed the note of 5/10, receiving “A match far from exceptional for the Portuguese left side. He has shown nervousness throughout the meeting and was often late in the fight for the ball. On the other hand, he managed to weigh a constant danger with his high presence. »»
A nightmarish evening

Author of too many losses of bullets for a left defender, he also made stupid faults which earned him a yellow in the 68th minute of play. His failed centers also illustrated the lack of precision of Parisians this evening. »»
