Nuno Mendes shines as Lyon dominate the Ligue 1 Team of the Week
PSG’s Nuno Mendes was key in the 2-1 win over Marseille, while Lyon’s 4-0 demolition of Rennes powers an XI packed with Lyon players.
Nuno Mendes set the tone in the “Classique”: PSG beat Marseille 2-1, and L’Équipe highlights the full-back as a decisive factor in the win.
Mendes stands out
In that match, he was central to PSG’s attacking momentum, which is why he makes the Team of the Week for Ligue 1’s matchday 5, according to the French newspaper.
Lyon’s 4-0 overload
The other big headline comes from Lyon, who overwhelmed Rennes 4-0. As L’Équipe reports, that performance is what gives Lyon such overwhelming weight in the XI—“in all lines.”
With the two results shaping the weekend, Nuno Mendes is one of the standout picks, while Lyon’s collective display ends up defining the whole Team of the Week lineup.
