Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) midfielder, Vitinha, has said his teammate, Nuno Mendes, is currently the world’s best left-back.
He made this known ahead of PSG’s UEFA Champions League (UCL) clash against Bundesliga giants, Bayern Munich, at Parc des Princes on Tuesday night.
Mendes, who is an international teammate of Vitinha in the Portugal national football team, was impressive for the French champions last season.

The 23-year-old joined the Parisians from Portuguese side Sporting CP in 2022 and has netted four goals and provided three assists in all competitions for PSG so far this season.
Speaking ahead of their UCL group match later today, Vitinha hailed Mendes for his exploits.
“For me, Nuno Mendes is the best left back in the world,” the 25-year-old said, as quoted by Fabrizio Romano..
