In just five years of senior football, Nuno Mendes has crafted a trophy collection that many players can only dream of over an entire career. The Portuguese left-back, still only in his early 20s, has amassed a staggering 15 titles, establishing himself as one of the most decorated young players in the modern game.
Since bursting onto the scene, Mendes has been an integral figure for both club and country. His honours include four Ligue 1 titles, three French Super Cups, and two French Cups with Paris Saint-Germain, where his marauding runs and defensive solidity have made him indispensable.
On the continental stage, Mendes has already lifted the UEFA Champions League, UEFA Super Cup, and UEFA Nations League trophies—an extraordinary feat for a player so early in his career. These triumphs underline his ability to shine not just domestically, but also on football’s grandest stages.
Before making his move to France, Mendes left his mark in Portugal with Sporting CP, winning the Liga Portugal, Portuguese League Cup, and Portuguese Super Cup. His time at the Lisbon-based club showcased his explosive pace, technical skill, and tactical intelligence—qualities that caught the eye of Europe’s elite clubs.
Mendes won his latest trophy last night when PSG beat Tottenham Hotspur in the UEFA Super Cup 2025 on penalties.
