Nuno Mendes rightfully deserves the title of best left-back in the world.

Nuno Mendes' brilliant form is becoming a highlight in Paris Saint-Germain's triumphant run in this season's Champions League.

Mendes won the Man of the Match award against Leverkusen.

The Portuguese left-back was voted Man of the Match by UEFA after PSG's crushing 7-2 victory over Bayer Leverkusen on the morning of October 22nd. This is the second consecutive time in three rounds that Mendes has been honored in this award.

At BayArena, Mendes showcased energetic attacking football. The 23-year-old was not only solid defensively but also constantly pushed forward to support the attack, creating a constant threat on PSG's left wing. He contributed one assist and one goal, helping to secure a resounding victory for Luis Enrique's team.

In Barcelona's 2-1 victory on October 2nd, Mendes was also named Man of the Match, having assisted one goal and effectively neutralized the Catalan team's attacking threats.

After three matches in the Champions League, Mendes has been involved in four goals (two goals, two assists). This number is comparable to that of any true striker and highlights his influence on the playing style that coach Luis Enrique is building at PSG.

Mendes' consistent performances have further solidified his position as one of the best left-backs in the world today. His attacking runs to link up play and his accurate crosses have created opportunities for attacking stars like Ousmane Dembele, Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, and Desire Doue to shine.

A cunning trick in PSG's win against Barcelona: On October 2nd, Achraf Hakimi blocked a quick throw-in from Alejandro Balde of Barcelona in PSG's 2-1 victory in the 2025/26 Champions League qualifying round.
