Nuno Mendes Faces Racist Abuse After PSG's 3-1 Win

Nuno Mendes was subjected to racist abuse online after conceding a penalty in PSG's 3-1 win over Brest on Saturday.

The 22-year-old Portugal international was penalised in the 29th minute for felling Ludovic Ajorque, allowing Romain del Castillo to convert from the spot.

PSG recovered to win 3-1 with Ousmane Dembele scoring twice and Fabian Ruiz finding the net, securing their fourth league win from four at the start of the season.

The incident has sparked a strong response from PSG, who condemned the abuse as "totally unacceptable" and offered their "full support" to Nuno Mendes.

Luis Enrique's side has shown solidarity with the defender, who has scored three goals in 85 first-team appearances since joining PSG from Sporting CP in 2021.

PSG will work with the relevant authorities and associations to ensure those responsible for the abuse are held accountable, upholding the club's values of tolerance and respect.

The club will continue to foster an environment of inclusion and unity both on and off the pitch, with Nuno Mendes set to play in the Champions League against La Liga side Girona on Wednesday.

Nuno Mendes has been an integral part of the PSG team, and the club's support for him reflects their commitment to combating racism in football.

The incident occurred on Saturday, and PSG's statement was released on Sunday, emphasizing the club's zero-tolerance policy towards racism and discrimination.

As Nuno Mendes prepares to face Girona, he can count on the support of his team and the club, who are working to create a safe and respectful environment for all players.
