Sida laga soo xigtay L’Équipe, Paris Saint-Germain waxay rajeyneysaa in Nuno Mendes uu soo laaban doono marka ay la ciyaarayaan Athletic Bilbao Arbacada. Iyadoo Lucas Hernandez la ganaaxay, helitaankiisa ayaa noqday qodob muhiim ah oo ku saabsan garabka bidix ee kooxda. Haddii uusan awoodin inuu ciyaaro, kooxdu waxay diyaarisay qorshayaal badan oo kale.
Ka dib markii Paris Saint-Germain ay 0-1 kaga badisay Monaco, maamulku wuxuu gaaray laba go’aan: kooxdu ma awoodo inay sii wadato xawaare aad u sarreeya xilli ciyaareedka oo dhan, gaar ahaan ka dib kharashaadka tamarta ee ciyaartii Champions League ee Tottenham Hotspur saddex maalmood ka hor; Dhanka kale, marka kooxdu ay ku tiirsanaan karto labada daafac ee joogtada ah ee bilowga ah, Achraf oo midig jooga iyo Nuno Mendes oo bidix jooga, hawlgalku guud ahaan si habsami leh ayuu u socdaa. Qof gudaha ku jira ayaa yiri, “Marka mid ka mid ah uu maqan yahay, xaaladdu way ka duwan tahay, iska daa marka labaduba maqan yihiin.”
Midkoodna ma uusan ciyaarin ciyaartii ay kooxda 5-0 kaga badisay Rennes Sabtidii lasoo dhaafay, Luis Enrique ayaana wali awooday inuu Lucas Hernandez u isticmaalo garabka bidix waqtigaas. Si kastaba ha ahaatee, xaaladdu way ka duwanaan doontaa ciyaartii ay martida ku ahaayeen Athletic Bilbao, maadaama Hernandez laga ganaaxay xusul uu ku dhuftay Harvey Simons intii lagu jiray ciyaartii ay la ciyaareen Tottenham 26-kii Nofembar. Tallaabadaasi waxay ku qancisay Luis Enrique, ciyaaryahanka ayaana markii dambe qirtay inuu sameeyay “qalad nacasnimo ah”, taasoo ka hor istaagi doonta inuu markii ugu horreysay ku soo bilowdo Champions League xilli ciyaareedkan.
Marka laga soo tago xaaladdan, waxaa la isweydiinayaa in ciyaarta soo socota ee Paris ee ka dhici doonta Basque Country ay mar kale tijaabin doonto dabacsanaanta safka kooxda. Dhanka kale, haddii Nuno Mendes uu ciyaari karo iyo haddii ay sidaas tahay, shaqaalaha tababarku ay qaadi doonaan khatarta ah inay ku bilaabaan, ayaa sidoo kale noqotay diiradda la saarayo doodda. Ciyaaryahanka heerka caalami ee reer Portugal ayaa dhaawac jilibka bidix ah ka soo gaaray Nofembar 4 intii lagu jiray ciyaar ay la ciyaarayeen Bayern Munich. Wuxuu si ka dhaqso badan uga soo kabtay intii la filayay xilligii nasashada caalamiga ah wuxuuna bilaabay ciyaaro isku xiga oo ay la ciyaarayeen Le Havre iyo Tottenham Hotspur, laakiin wuxuu dareemay raaxo darro 15 daqiiqo gudahood markii la bilaabay, ugu dambeyntiina waa la bedelay qeybtii hore.
