Nuno Mendes does it the Portuguese way! Viral after PSG-Arsenal (video) | OneFootball

Paris Saint-Germain’s Champions League triumph over Arsenal, featuring Viktor Gyokeres, continues to make headlines, and one of the most talked-about moments of the celebrations starred former Sporting full-back Nuno Mendes.

After the final played in Budapest, the PSG players stayed on the pitch for a long time celebrating what was the French club’s second consecutive European title. Among the many videos that quickly spread across social media, one in particular won over Portuguese fans.

Brazilian influencer Kaike approached several Portuguese players from the Parisian team to ask for a photo. However, he chose to speak to the players in English, which sparked an unexpected and very funny reaction from the Portuguese internationals.

First it was João Neves, then Vitinha, and later Nuno Mendes. Although they were apart and with no apparent coordination, all three responded in exactly the same way to the influencer’s request: "Speak Portuguese, man***". The coincidence caused laughter and quickly turned the video into one of the most widely shared pieces of content from PSG’s celebrations.

For Sporting fans, the spotlight naturally falls on Nuno Mendes, who continues to establish himself as one of the best full-backs in world football. Developed at Sporting’s Academy - a club that congratulated him - the Portugal international once again played an important role in a historic PSG campaign and showed, even in the middle of a European party atmosphere, that he has not forgotten his roots or the Portuguese language.
