Nuno Mendes has been on an absolute tear. At just 23 years old, he is already the most decorated under-23 player of all time. Let that sink in for a second.
A Trophy Cabinet That Makes No Sense
So far, Nuno Mendes has won 17 major trophies.
Domestic trophies:
- 1 Portuguese League
- 1 Portuguese League Cup
- 1 Portuguese Super Cup
- 4 French Leagues
- 3 French Super Cups
- 2 French Cups
International trophies:
- 1 UEFA Champions League
- 1 Nations League (with Portugal)
- 1 UEFA Super Cup
- 1 FIFA International Cup
Seventeen trophies at twenty-three!
Elite Company
To put this into perspective, here’s the company he’s keeping (Trophies Under 23 Years Old):
- Kingsley Coman – 13 trophies
- Kylian Mbappé – 12 trophies
- Lionel Messi – 11 trophies
- Pelé – 11 trophies
That’s not a list you casually stumble into.
More Than Just Trophies
What really sets Nuno Mendes apart isn’t just the silverware.
Every matchup he faces, he delivers. Every big moment, he shows up.
He’s physically dominant, tactically intelligent, and consistently clutch: both for PSG and the Portuguese national team. He doesn’t just play left-back; he controls his entire side of the pitch.
At this point, he’s arguably already the most decorated left-back ever at his age.
The Big Question
So here’s the real question:
Do you see Nuno Mendes becoming the greatest left-back of all time?
Can he reach legends like: Roberto Carlos, Marcelo, Ashley Cole, Andreas Brehme, Jordi Alba and dare I say, Paolo Maldini?
If he stays healthy and keeps this trajectory… it’s not as crazy as it sounds.
