 The French International also said he was 'not sober' on the day a woman has accused him of trying to rape her in October 2018 after drinking the tequila - but he 'felt pretty normal'. Jurors heard the pair had been out partying the night before with another pal - who had slept with the woman and allegedly told Mendy he could sleep with her too. It has been claimed in court he went into the bathroom where she was showering while touching himself, and tried to pull her onto the bed as she told him to stop.

Manchester City footballer Benjamin Mendy has been giving evidence at his trial, after being accused of raping and sexually assaulting a total of six different women on five different occasions
Footballer Benjamin Mendy told a court he drank “one or two glasses of tequila” on the morning he is accused of trying to rape a woman as she got out the shower.
The 28-year-old was giving evidence to his trial this morning about his life between October 2018 and August last year – when he is accused of raping and sexually assaulting a total of six different women on five different occasions.
Jurors heard Mendy had to sell his yellow Lamborghini and stopped sending money to family in France – which was paying for relatives’ private education and homes – after the Premier League side stopped paying him in September last year. He admitted his behaviour was “unprofessional” and he has been “disrespectful” towards women, but denies seven counts of rape, one count of sexual assault and one count of attempted rape.
