BENJAMIN MENDY is not one to shirk a challenge, no matter how cold it gets.
The Manchester City star certainly did not shirk the cold when he visited the Super Bowl in Minneapolis as he witnessed the Philadelphia Eagles’ 41-33 win over the New England Patriots.

To prove how he can handle the pain, he stripped off his shirt and had a dance around in the -20C temperatures in Minnesota.
Frenchman Mendy, 23, has been doing rehab on a cruciate ligament tear he picked up in September.
The former Monaco man has been making slow but steady progress as he looks to overcome the blow and get back into Pep Guardiola’s high-flying City squad.
But he has taken a detour to Minnesota, where he appears to have been doing some conditioning work on the joint following surgery.

And by a lucky coincidence he has also had the chance to witness a Super Bowl for the first time, and he didn’t get a bad vantage point either.
Mendy stood proudly on the sidelines as the Eagles won their first ever Vince Lombardi trophy.
