Heās just 22. He pocketed Salah, froze out Saka, and neutralized Lamine Yamal.
And yet⦠Nuno Mendes is still flying under the radar. Until now.
In this deep-dive football analysis, we unpack why Mendes is:
š„ The best full-back in the world right now (yes, better than Davies, Balde & Gvardiol)
š A defensive wall who literally allows 1 shot per 105 minutes
ā” A world-class attacking threat with UCL knockout goals
š Elite in progressive passes, dribbling, and defensive IQ
šµš¹ Portugal’s rising icon ā already tipped for Ballon dāOr podiums
š From Sportingās prodigy to PSGās defensive jewel, we reveal the truth about Mendesā rise ā and why no winger in the world is safe at the 2025 Club World Cup.

Nuno Mendes speaks Portuguese not Spanish. Despertar is Portuguese not Spanish
Nuno Mendes and Hakimi are out of this world
Wake up in Spanish, wtf.
yea, I never really believed in mBappe
The balon d'or talk should be between Vitinha and Mendes. Mendes could easily be a top forward if he wanted.
Mendes is who Trent wants to be.
Best way to nail pronouciation from english is saying Nuno Men-dsh. Just saying…good work anyway.
5:05 wtfakin goal
Best left back in the world right now š„š„š„
despertar…in spanish ? how fucking high or ignorant is this person ?
Best full back in the world ā
Best player in the world ā
Despertar is a portuguese club and the name is portuguese and not Spanish
This moment now simply the best on the world
How good??? He is an excellent player.
He's Nuno Mendes not "Mendez"
Mendes is the best left back in the world!
"Depertar" doesn't mean "wake up" in spanish, it means "wake up" in porrtuguese…
Mbappe plays on the attack left. Mendes plays in deffense left. They wouldn“t cross
for a nation of only 10 million, it's crazy how much consistent world class talent comes out of Portugal. they really do an extraordinary job with their scouting and youth development.
hope PSG wins the clubs world tournament, and Mendes or Vitinha get the ballon d'or
An excellent player and, to me the most important, an excellent role model.
Ablolutley Righ Footnal Fanatic. Mendes is the best Fullback in the World. Period. And Another Amorim Player!
Harder to replace than dembele and the other contenders. Should win balon dor imo
Really? Balde? Who is Balde?
i was not paying attention to your voice because of those highlights. Man he is a beast. Love your content
He is the best left back in the world
Vitinha is the best CM in the world
Joao Neves is the best CDM in the world
Nuno Mendes is winning the BallonDāor.
You all heard it here first!
Lol not like balde …. Mendes is next level both defensive and attacking
4:20 In spanish? U gotta be real dumb
