PSG faces Marseille this Monday, September 22, at 7:00 PM. Nuno Mendes, a player trained at Sporting, who is one of the nominees to win the 2025 Ballon d'Or, will be in the spotlight for the match as usual.

In the press conference previewing this tough match, Luis Enrique, the Parisian team's coach, praised the Portuguese international: "He is one of the most complete players I have coached," he told the journalists present before the match.

It's worth noting that the winner of the 2024/25 Ballon d'Or will also be announced today, with Nuno Mendes and Viktor Gyokeres among the names. For this reason, 'Kandimba' will not be present at the ceremony, nor will the other PSG players nominated for the award.

The French emblem also has Luis Enrique in the running for the best coach award and could be named the best men's football club of the season while playing the closing classic of the fifth round of Ligue 1, which was postponed from Sunday to today, due to the forecast of a storm in the south of France.

The ceremony will start at 8:00 PM local time, at the Théâtre du Châtelet, in Paris - 7:00 PM in mainland Portugal. In addition to Nuno Mendes and Viktor Gyokeres, there is another former Sporting player in the running for the award in the 69th edition of the prize: Raphinha, who is currently playing for Barcelona.
