If Le Figaro gave Nuno Mendes a rating of 3, the daily L’Équipe was harsher. He awarded a 2 to the Portuguese full-back after his performance deemed “very worrying”. Scores still too high according to the words of Laurent Leroy. “He was in very, very serious difficulty. For me, it's simple, it deserves a score of zero! He was in difficulty on all levels, passes, restarts… He was eliminated in every duel,” declared the former PSG striker, interviewed by Le Parisien.
The left-back and his partners, like Kylian Mbappé, will have to deliver a completely different performance next Tuesday in the semi-final return even if qualification is still playable for the Parisian number 25: “It was a difficult match, we knew it would be difficult because they were playing at home, with their supporters (...) There are still 90 minutes left, we will do everything to win the next match with maximum motivation.
