""Lamine is not on my side, but he will be up against the best left-back in the world in Nuno Mendes," Hakimi said in the pre-game news conference. "He is capable of stopping him, as he has done already, and as he has stopped other attackers with the same style as Lamine in the past. He is well prepared.""
""But the strength of our team is the help we provide to each other, so we will try and help Nuno and not leave him one-v-one because we know the capacity Lamine has in those situations.""
PSG names Nuno Mendes as the world's best left-back and expects him to stop Barcelona teenager Lamine Yamal. PSG will provide defensive help to avoid leaving Mendes isolated one-v-one. Barcelona face added pressure with injuries to key wingers and will rely more on Yamal. Yamal previously impressed in Paris two seasons ago at age 16, assisting a goal in the return leg before being substituted after a red card. PSG progressed 4-1 in that quarterfinal tie. Barcelona midfielder Pedri says the side want to avenge that 2024 defeat.
