This is the type of guy who does al the dirty work so other people can "shine". Maybe we will see a surprise in the balon dor and I start to respect the award a little bit more
Nuno Mendes has been Europe’s standout player this year. In Ligue 1, he was a key figure in PSG’s title-winning campaign, combining solid defensive work with consistent attacking support.
In the Champions League, Mendes played a crucial role in PSG’s dominant run, notably shutting down Mohamed Salah in the win over Liverpool. He continued to impress in the final, where PSG defeated Inter Milan 5-0 to claim the title.
Internationally, he was just as impactful with Portugal in the UEFA Nations League. His standout performance came against Spain, where he successfully neutralized Lamine Yamal, helping Portugal lift the trophy.
If I had the chance to award the 2024-2025 Ballon d'Or, Nuno Mendes would be my clear choice.
I started watching him when he was 17. It was already one of the best left defenders i had ever seen. Unfair to compare to any other, he's like a top winger that defends like a top defender.
As a SPORTING CP die hard supporter, watching people commenting what we as Sporting CP supporters saw and thought about Nuno Mendes in 2021, finally the entire world started to recognise him.
Sou português, nascido em 1985,e vi Roberto Carlos jogar!e posso afirmar que chegar ao prime de Roberto Carlos é praticamente impossível 😅 Mesmo para Nuno Mendes.. Roberto Carlos foi único!! E difícilmente haverá outro igual..
He reminds me much more of Gareth Bale and how he played as a left back at Tottenham. I would not be surprised if we see him further up the pitch the next few years. He is very good in the final third.
Have we ever seen this??, for attack he is elite most goals in ucl too, for defending so so solid against the best wingers in the world. This is one of the best season for a lb of all time
Esse nuno mendes pode vir quem for… Messi Salah Yamin n leves yamal Raphinha Neymar Mbape Vinicius junior Seja quem for nao tem para ninguem ….é uma maquina da força da velociadade da tecnica do desarme , tacticamente Ninguem passa ali… Força mendes ainda esta so a começar…para o ano vem o mundial 2026 Sorte e saude e 0 lesões Amem
It took me like an hour to watch a 9mn video. Damn that boy good. I've always liked him since i've seen him play with PSG. He is a Beast, hope he'll be a legend

Who else notice that the only differences between him and dembele is the position they are playing 😂😂
Bruh, this guy is great at everything
A fair balance between Roberto Carlos and Marcelo, what an insane player
Nuno Mendes, the rising star ⭐️⭐️
If he performs like this consistently for the rest of his career he can very much be one of the greatest lb of all time
Portuguese Quality 🇵🇹
😂😂😂
Mais um brilhante jogador do Sporting Clube de Portugal que foi tratar da sua vida, como o Figo e o Cristiano Ronaldo. Felizmente há a seleção.
he is the best!

Nuno Mendes is easily getting to the Balon d'or podium if @psg had proper PR team, I've not seen a left back this complete before, not even Marcelo.

This guy combined with Leão on the left is an insane combo for Portugal. Will probably win us WC next year honestly.
