PSG v Monaco: Nuno Mendes resigned in front of the media | OneFootball

Nuno Mendes, the 23-year-old left wing-back of Paris Saint-Germain, stopped in the mixed zone after the 1-3 defeat against AS Monaco (PSG/Monaco video summary) this Friday at Parc des Princes as part of the 25th day of Ligue 1 2025-2026.

Nuno Mendes "we didn't do what we normally do"

Today we were not at our level. Monaco managed to win, they managed to score three goals. That's what happened today.

Physically it's difficult for you, can you confirm that?

No, I think we're fine. Today, we were not at our level, we didn't do what we normally do. That is, have the ball, control the match. From the beginning of the match to the end we were not good, it's not a question of fatigue. We have time to rest, that's true. We need to work, rest to be ready for Wednesday.

Nuno Mendes "We will want to win the match, that's the objective"

How to bounce back on Wednesday against Chelsea?

Today, it was a complicated match. We will face Chelsea in the same way we approached this match today. We will want to win the match, that's the objective.

Is it still worrying?

It's normal, other teams also have good players. We have good players too, football changes. As time goes on, teams prepare well. We are ready, we will train well to be ready for Wednesday.

Nuno Mendes "We didn't manage to have the ball and control the match"

Was it poorly timed passes that were lacking?

Yes, it's one of the things we need to improve. We lost a lot of silly balls and then we have to run towards our goal. That's not what we like, we like to attack. That's what we need to improve.

If it's not physical, what is the problem?

We are not at our level, we didn't manage to do what we need to do. We didn't manage to have the ball and control the match, it's a matter of time, we will rest and work well. We will manage to do that on Wednesday.
