This Friday, two days before tomorrow’s Club World Cup 2025 final against Chelsea at the Stade MetLife (kick-off 9pm CET, broadcast on DAZN), Nuno Mendes, Paris Saint-Germain’s 23-year-old left-back, was present at the press briefing.
Nuno Mendes “There’s one match left, we have to give it our all!”
We’re all tired, that’s normal. It’s a long time, but a good time. There’s one match left to finish well. Chelsea are tired too, and we will be too. With the heat, it’ll be complicated for everyone too.
We’ve got one match left and we’ve got to give it everything we’ve got! Our priority is to play well. As far as I’m concerned, I’m continuing to work hard every day, training and improving as much as I can!
Nuno Mendes “That’s why we have to do our best and win!”
“Against Madrid, the team played well. Just because we beat Real Madrid in the semi-final doesn’t mean we’re in a better mood. I think that if we reach the final against Chelsea, play badly and lose, winning against Real Madrid will be pointless. That’s why we have to do our best and win!”
An important match for Nuno Mendes and the Parisians, who have the chance to make history once again. After the Champions League title, PSG can follow up with a world title against Chelsea, who also won a European Cup, the Conference League, this season.
Clearly, it won’t be an easy match for the Parisians, who nonetheless arrive with plenty of confidence. They will need to be serious, very serious, as they were against Real Madrid (4-0) and Bayern Munich (2-0). The club from the capital has the opportunity to win a fifth trophy, which would be historically unprecedented. Winning this first edition of the Club World Cup would also be a fantastic way to round off an already unforgettable season.
