No unhealthy competition with Lucas Hernandez. In an interview given to Media Squarethe French international was invited to comment on the current form of his teammate and competitor Nuno Mendes. For him, there is no doubt: the Portuguese is currently the best left-back on the planet.
“Of course he's the best left back in the world, without a doubtjudges the 2018 world champion. But I'm used to that (competition). At Bayern Munich, I had Alphonso Davies prime, the guy was on a Vespa, he was going at 2,000 miles an hour. It was the best in the world without a doubt. Even though Nuno is number 1, he knows I'm there. If he needs me, I'm here. We get along very well and we can play together too.”
