Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) fans have heaped praise on left-back Nuno Mendes, pointing out that the youngster is forming a great partnership with Lionel Messi.PSG earned a comfortable 3-0 away win against Nantes in Ligue 1 on Saturday. Kylian Mbappe scored a brace while Mendes scored the third for the Parisians to put the icing on the cake.Messi assisted both of Mbappe's goals, taking his assists tally for the season to six. He has now managed a brace of assists in consecutive games.However, fans were delighted to see the partnership that the seven-time Ballon d'Or winner is building with Mendes.The Portuguese arrived in Paris on loan last season from Sporting CP and made his move permanent this summer. While his talent has always been obvious, he is slowly forging into one of the best players in his position.Fans compared his link-up play with the Argentine to that of the partnership between Messi and Jordi Alba during the former's time at Barcelona.Substitute Neymar Jr. struck the woodwork from an Achraf Hakimi cross. The rebound fell into Mendes' path, who made no mistake in increasing his side's tally to 3-0 in the 68th minute.Here's how PSG fans worldwide reacted to the dazzling display from their prodigious left-back:RunkeGlenn@RunkeGlenn@EiFSoccer Im enjoying the growing partnership between Nuno Mendes and Messi.
