Kudus has been hailed for his performance against Nuno Mendes
Ghanaian forward, Mohammed Kudus is dominating social media conversations following his performance against Portuguese left-back Nuno Mendes in the UEFA Super Cup on Wednesday, August 13, 2025.
Kudus and his Tottenham Hotspurs teammates suffered a heartbreak on Wednesday night after missing out on lifting the 2025 UEFA Super Cup, following a defeat to PSG.
Spurs were hurt and disappointed with their defeat to the French club after going ahead 2-0 in the game through Donny Van De Ven and captain Cristian Gabriel Romero.
While Tottenham looked on course to claim the Super Cup, a spirited fightback from PSG saw the French side force the game to finish 2-2 in regulation time, thanks to late goals from Kang-In Lee and Gonçalo Ramos.

Kudus played 79 minutes before making way for Mathys Tel.
Despite the defeat, the Black Stars attacker was widely praised for his brilliant performance against Mendes, who is regarded as one of the best left-backs in the world.
The PSG defender struggled to contain Kudus, who dribbled past him on several occasions and drew a foul occasionally to disrupt the flow of the game.
Football fans commended Kudus for thriving against one of the top defenders in the game, showcasing his potential despite missing out on his first European title.

This from Mohammed Kudus last night was exceptional stuff. Shows he’s much more than just a silky, direct 1v1 dribbler who creates chances.

This work by Kudus to win the free kick that led to the opening goal was so good.

This is the real Kudus, and why West Ham fans were happy to see him go.
Compilation after compilation of nice footwork or strength, only to cut back and make a simple pass or shank a cross. You’ve bought a dud.— Moralist Cretin (@ConNMC) August 14, 2025
