Nuno Mendes has been absolutely flying this season. Just yesterday, he was a key player in Paris Saint-Germain’s 1-1 draw on the road against Lille. The Portuguese left-back, known for his attacking runs and defensive grit, pulled off a fantastic direct free-kick goal that had everyone talking. His stellar performance immediately set the official Ligue 1 Portuguese social media page alight.
The league’s account simply couldn’t hold back, dedicating three separate posts to Mendes. One post declared, “Words fail to praise the best left-back in the world.” This kind of passionate praise from an official league source shows just how much buzz Mendes is generating with his recent play. Barcelona, a team he recently faced, could certainly vouch for his incredible form.
Other posts from the Ligue 1 account mirrored this extreme admiration. One of them read like a superfan’s pledge: “If Nuno Mendes thinks, I agree. If Nuno Mendes speaks, I listen. If Nuno Mendes makes a mistake, I forgive. If Nuno Mendes thinks, I admire. If Nuno Mendes has 100 fans, I am one of them. If Nuno Mendes has one fan, I am that fan. If Nuno Mendes has no fans, I do not exist.” Another post challenged followers directly, daring them to “Name a better left-back than Nuno Mendes and fail miserably.” These bold statements really capture the current feeling around Mendes.
Mendes isn’t just a flash in the pan. His reputation has been building. During the 2024/25 season, he helped PSG make history by winning the Champions League for the first time ever. That outstanding year also saw him recognized by the 2025 Ballon d’Or awards, which named him the 10th best footballer for that season. This background of success only adds weight to the incredible performances he’s putting in week after week now.
The former Sporting player has consistently delivered high-level performances lately. His skill on the field is making him a standout, and it looks like his incredible talent is impossible to ignore, even for those running official league accounts. He truly has everyone’s attention.
