In the 7th round of the UEFA Champions League league phase, Sporting CP will face Paris Saint-Germain. Ahead of the match, PSG player Nuno Mendes spoke to PSG TV.
It must be a very special feeling to return here, especially since this is your boyhood club. How are you feeling right now?
Nuno Mendes: Today has been quite calm, but maybe tomorrow I’ll feel a little... I don’t know how to say it in French—it’s that emotional rollercoaster. It’s a special match, it’s going to be a great battle, and I hope we can win. The game will be tough, but that’s exactly what drives us forward.
It’s a beautiful stadium, and this victory would be very important. Moreover, we won’t be alone—more than 2,000 PSG fans will be there to support us, cheering us on from the stands.
Nuno Mendes: They’ve always been with us, wherever we go. So we’ll also fight for them. Tomorrow will be a typical Champions League match—intense and difficult—and I hope we can leave here with a win.
