PSG/OM – Mendes lets loose: "We’re the best team in France"

Paris Saint-Germain faced Olympique de Marseille this Thursday as part of the Trophée des Champions (2-2, 4-1 on penalties, video highlights here). Following this victory, Nuno Mendes, the 23-year-old Parisian full-back, spoke to PSG TV.

Nuno Mendes: "Another trophy for Paris Saint-Germain"

“This is Paris Saint-Germain. We never stop, we want to win every match, and that’s what happened today. I think it was a good match from the team, we gave everything until the end and that’s great. The emotion is strong. Another trophy for Paris Saint-Germain, we show that we are the best in France, and today we deserved to win so we are very happy.”

A beautiful victory for PSG, who went all the way to the end of the suspense by winning in the penalty shootout. It was a match otherwise controlled by Luis Enrique’s men, but after a few minutes of letting up and two mistakes, the Olympians were able to get back into the game and then take the lead.

PSG, who have already shown their mental strength, managed to stay in the match. Thanks to their super-sub Gonçalo Ramos, the 24-year-old striker, the capital club was able to stay in the game and believe in their chances of claiming another trophy. The penalty shootout was then a complete success, with Lucas Chevalier, who, in addition to a very convincing match, delivered a perfect penalty session.

The year 2026 is therefore off to a perfect start for the capital club, who win their first title. The 2025 calendar year ended with the Intercontinental Cup, and this new year begins with a trophy against their Marseille rivals, who remain in a 14-year drought.
