Enormous end to the season for the Portuguese, a week after his coronation in the Champions League, the PSG full-back tormented the Spanish right flank. Scoring his first goal for the national team to bring Portugal back into the game, Nuno Mendes once again accelerated the Seleçao on Cristiano Ronaldo's goal, before calmly converting his penalty kick.
In addition to being a permanent danger, the Portuguese full-back even afforded the luxury of neutralizing Lamine Yamal, who was hardly seen in the match. And what if he was the best full-back in the world?
