Nuno Mendes: "Playing in the Champions League is a dream"

About his decision to sign with PSG...

"I always told my agent that I’d like to play for PSG. Fortunately, I’m at Paris Saint-Germain now, where I really wanted to be. It was a big change when I got here.
Players think very fast here. They play one or two touches, simple football. The players are top-notch."

"There are things I still can learn. In the Champions League, every detail counts. The way we play here at PSG, we are a very offensive team. And sometimes when you attack a lot, when you switch to defending you can get distracted and undesirable things may happen."

About his playing style and his skill set...

"I focus more on defending because not conceding goals is the most important thing for the team. I’ve been evolving defensively, and that’s what I intend to do."

"I’m not a player that dribbles a lot. But sometimes I have to do it. Sometimes I have to dribble but I don’t focus too much on that, because we have top-quality players who can do that. Like Neymar, Messi, Mbappe. These are players who…They go into games and do what they want. In a one-on-one, they can get past you very easily. Facing them training allows me to improve every day. Whenever we train and I’m with one of them, that’s good for me."
