Like his team, Nuno Mendes is one of the Paris Saint-Germain players who did not slow down after the victory in the Champions League. On the contrary, the Portuguese seems even stronger, especially in C1.
Scorer against Atalanta, decisive passer in Barcelona, Nuno Mendes did it again Tuesday evening in Leverkusen (2-7), participating in Luis Enrique's men's festival. It is he who centers on Willian Pacho's opener. And the former Sporting player himself scored at the start of the second half. Clinical.
Questioned after the meeting on Canal+, Nuno Mendes was asked about the fact that he was the best player in the world in his position. “It’s always a pleasure,
he replied. Already, thank you. I try to be as good as possible on the pitch, do what I know how to do, help the team as much as possible. And that's what I try to do, evolve in all the matches, all the training. My teammates are also there to help me and I think we are on the right path. »
Nuno Mendes killed the debate
To tell the truth, the debate, if it existed, is over regarding Nuno Mendes. The Parisian is clearly the best left back in the world, and it's not even tight. His competitors? We can cite Federico Dimarco or Marc Cucurella. But no other player in this position is as solid defensively, as formidable offensively, and above all so consistent in his performances.
From now on, we have to look further for Nuno Mendes. The question is rather to know where he stands in the hierarchy of the best players in the world, all positions combined? Is it better than his 10th place in the Ballon d’Or? And if ever the Portuguese were to maintain this breathtaking level in the years to come, we will undoubtedly have to ask ourselves where to place him among the greatest players of all time in this position. We are there.
